Peperomia Care - Plant One On Me - Ep 048

For those of you who already know, I’m a HUGE Peperomia fan; I just can’t get enough of these little guys! It’s seriously become a bit of an obsession, as I have well over 40 different species now; and because many of them are so small-they can just about fit anywhere. They really do make a perfect houseplant, but I know a ton of you out there have trouble keeping them alive. I know because of all the “care” requests, Peperomia are up there on the list!
So without further ado, here’s a short and sweet tête-à-tête with me and Steve from Steve’s Leaves on Peperomia care. www.stevesleaves.com

Steve's Leaves should have branch in every city all over the world!

[@jeanneamato8278]

I’ve always loved these. They were one of the 80+ plants I had in my 8x10 bedroom growing up.

The fact that Summer said she sees watermelon peps in nurseries often blows my mind! I have traveled far and wide in my area and haven’t found one. I finally special ordered some from a local nursery but it’s taking forever 😫

[@sketchalater4656]

As an addict of succulents/cacti, pepperomias looks very appealing to me! Some look succulent esque, and their leaves are gorgeous. Also sounds like they could survive care similar to my succulents, since I water them once a week :) So not a huge commitment like say some ferns

[@ambooooo3019]

Do you know the plant Peperomia pellucida ("Crab-claw plant") it grows like a weed here in the Philippines (it is considered a weed) but you can actually eat the leave as a salad.

Just discovered this channel. So helpful. and charming.

[@yashashwitsharma]

Hiya, thanks a ton for this video. I have managed to propagate the leaves of my dying peperomia <definitely root rot from over watering and absolutely no sun in the dark winters in England>, so hopefully it'll work. I'm also going to get more peperomias, they're just beautiful.

[@aimeepierce663]

You are a Pepperomia pusher!!😂 Thanks for sharing

[@Mikkeronza]

Hi Summer, i love your channel and have watched all your videos recently. I'm wondering if ashes from a fireplace or from burning leaf piles could act as a fertilizer for some plants if mixed in the soil.. Like how land used to be "burnt down" to make it more fertile.

[@desautumn]

I have a peperomia obtusifolia and he is amazing. After watching this I need more haha!

[@jamielynndizon]

Is Steve's Leaves open to the public or only online?

[@RaisingSerge]

Dear Summer, have you ever seen the movie " Seraphine" it's a French movie. If you love Peperomias and you like Basquiat you have to watch Seraphine.

[@StrangeDisposition]

My parallel baby is struggling and I hardly water it. I gave it hydrogen peroxide and put it on a sunny winter window so it can dry out the soil but I think there’s too much peat in there and I’m scared to repot and stress it out more 😞

[@valerieann3972]

Can you do a video/do you already have one about propagating the parallel pepermonia?

[@suryjoni]

good video tnx.

[@katrinaharvey9952]

Do the pilea need more water? I was told not to let them dry out.

[@singing4hope]

I didn't realise you have your own KZbin channel! I've seen you featured in so many other videos!

[@payelsarkar8647]

Hi Summer, I have got a Peperomia tetragona. I don't know why it is losing its new leaves along with older ones. The stems look okay... I repotted it a few weeks back when I found one of the stems rotting. Today I just lifted it up from the stand and a few leaves dropped. Can you please help? I have placed it in a well drained soil and it's near a window.

[@katjean7270]

Peperomia are by far the easiest plant to care for.

[@rachelrose6040]

My baby fried with my plant light, I left it half alive and in 2 months it revived itself
