Peperomia rotundifolia 'Pepperspot'
Peperomia rotundifolia 'Pepperspot', commonly known as the Trailing Jade or Creeping Buttons, is a charming and compact trailing plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of South America. This cultivar is distinguished by its small, round, fleshy leaves that are a uniform deep green colour, creating an attractive, lush appearance despite what its name might suggest.
The plant forms cascading stems that can grow up to 30-60 cm long, making it ideal for hanging baskets, terrariums, or as a tabletop accent. Its growth habit is bushy and dense, creating a luxuriant, carpet-like effect when allowed to spread. While not known for its flowers, 'Pepperspot' may occasionally produce small, inconspicuous white or greenish spikes.
Thriving in bright, indirect light and preferring well-draining soil, Peperomia 'Pepperspot' is relatively low-maintenance and tolerant of average indoor humidity levels. Its compact size, attractive foliage, and easy care requirements make it a popular choice for both novice and experienced indoor gardeners.
