Peperomia tetragona is one of our favorites in the genus. Formerly called Peperomia puteolata, its almond-shaped leaves are variegated with alternating stripes of dark and light green, much like the rind of a watermelon. The leaves emerge in whirls of threes and fours, and stand in striking contrast to the upright, reddish stems. Ultimately growing 16" or longer, Parallel Peperomia is great for tabletop or hanging planters. It's easy to propagate from stem tip cuttings, and periodic pruning encourages a bushy habit.
Comes in a 100mm pot.
GROWTH - Compact, trailing plant
LIGHT - Bright, indirect sunlight
WATER - Moist well drained soil. It does not like to be left to dry out, but avoid overwatering.
