My Peperomia Collection - Ep 097

In Episode 96, we looked at Peperomia Care, but I made this show-and-tell video specifically for all of the plant nerds out there who want to see a range of Peperomia.
This isn't my entire collection (I'll have to show more in the NEXT vlog-style video), but this is a major chunk of the collection, so we'll go over about 40+ species, cultivars and varieties here including Peperomia obtusifolia, Peperomia caperata, Peperomia incana, Peperormia polybotrya, Pepeperomia quadrangularis, Peperomia dahlstedii, Peperomia viridis, and more!

[@anthonylewis62]

[@petercardona1559]

I feel a little better about myself knowing that peperomia fraseri challenges even the queen. Going to bed now. Best bedtime story ever!!! 😴👍

[@summerrayneoakes]

[@guitarsz]

I love how happy your plants make you!

[@fiasthoughts]

Lovely video, been looking forward to se the collection😊 I have 10+ peperomias and i love them all (definitely getting more tho)! So beautiful, stays small and don’t require a lot of water and sun. Which is great when living in Scandinavia. Such an excellent and breathtaking houseplant, with all the variety within one genus🌿

[@Alypinkflower]

O boy...just added a few onto my wishlist...thnx Summer 😘😘😘

[@janieharvey9871]

Wow-I knew there were a lot of different peperomia, but your collection is amazing! Love peperomia & have a few. I’m still learning how to care for them & watching this video helped! Thanks so much!

[@arturruszczak5160]

I am into aroids, but thanks to you I started falling in love with peperomia! I rally like your new videos! Big hug from Poland!

[@PazARoman]

Amazing video, thank you Summer Rayne. I actually find Peperomias being slightly tricky to care despite being a pretty experienced with house plant (and outdoor plants). I currently have a gorgeous Prostrata which I just adore

[@sharfinbean3362]

Love these videos from you!

[@judithpharo8073]

Great lecture on peps' so many new varieties to lust over. I've watched them over and over thanks for the names I can stop it and copy them down for future reference. We will have to ask suppliers to get busy growing them for us peps' addicts. Thank you for your time and effort .

[@k700i]

More peps for meeee I got so scared taking care of one but you’re they’re actually resilient

[@ja-uh9gz]

Lovely Peperomia collection.. I loved it. 😍👍

[@Tsunshinegal]

MamaMia😍🤩 you have a huge collection of these Peperomia 🥳

[@sharonhall1067]

Very informative. Thank you so much!

[@dianepicard6198]

Hello love your video and my favourite peperomia is the water melon one. I just love the look and the colour. I have a couple of peperomia and love them all.

[@ninachairani7709]

I've just found this video. Thank you. Mine are just water melon n caperata. But there are lots of P. pellucida here ... it's so perfect to put in salad

[@azdesertrunner56]

What a treat... 2 videos. Like I said in the last video, I went looking for a watermelon today. No luck 😢 but not going to give up. Thanks for the 2nd. Video. Made my day...

[@summerrayneoakes]

They're seasonal. One will come up!

[@mahendran412]

Wow you came back . I really missed your amazing videos .please post daily videos .

[@summerrayneoakes]

haha. That's a lot to ask, but you can at least know they're coming every Thursday. And maybe a little more in the beginning.

[@theonghantan862]

Thanks for sharing...you are great From SINGAPORE

[@deepam5319]

Hey summer... Iam in love with peps now. The way u touch n show interest in them makes anyone fall in love with plants. Could you please also show... Where u place each plant in the house... So that we get an idea.!!??

[@samanthadispenza8600]

Muy lindas tus plantas amiga. Saludos

[@wingspanbig]

Her nails are all chipped lol. I love it. Thanks for all info, Summer! I love watching your videos.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Impossible to keep my fingers in a solid manicure! Love working with my hands! haha!

[@wingspanbig]

@@summerrayneoakes That's why you're awesome. Keeping it real 😊

[@jeanneorr7838]

Loved it thank you

[@valiumk.9489]

Thank you for another useful video!! I have a few peperomias, but unfortunately I'll have to find and replace some of them, because I had placed them below some other plants, so they were constantly and accidentally overwatered and drowned...

[@nicolegrima5433]

hi! I wanted to ask as you'd mentioned wiping/scraping the epidermis damages the plant. I was wondering if I should avoid cleaning dust off my graveolas? I usually use water and a soft cloth. thanks so much!!

[@lindajackson7310]

Hi edagdwg love this video glad you are telling us more about the plants how to water I'm going to look for a new plants Linda j. ☮️❤️

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

Hi Summer! My favourite type of plant is peperomias too! I was wondering if you could tell me if springtails in the soil of my ficus lyrata is ok or if I need to get rid of them? And how to get rid of them if I do? Thanks. Love it that you're back making videos.

[@michellewolf2659]

Your enthusiasm is so contagious! I am going to buy my first house plant today and it is going to be a Peperomia! Thanks for your awesome content filled with beauty and knowledge. CU Nat Res '03 😉

[@susanpratt4061]

I just brought home a peperomia ferreyrae. Nervously trying to find all I can on how to do well by it. It was unnamed on the label and just now found it on Pinterest. Love the little guy. 🙂

[@glendacox6540]

Must find where to buy more of this plant family!

[@fayemartin465]

i love peperomias too thanks for the info.

[@christmassnow3465]

Peperomia Columella is one that I cannot find in my country. I saw it just once in a private collection.

[@judithpharo8073]

Great videos I feel we are best friends I spend so much time on your site thank you for your time and knowledge. Wish I could find prostrata, ferreyrae & graveolens love the hot dog leaves. Please continue making videos on different species you are such a wonderful teacher easy to understand.

[@warrenwall7095]

Love the finger nail color, pretty cool for the plant gal

[@summerrayneoakes]

Hard to keep color on my nails. Always seems to turn dirt brown after repotting!

[@warrenwall7095]

@@summerrayneoakes if yoe make it to Santa Barbara County in central California come by and see my plant collection I have a virtual Nursery air plants orchids but mostly succulents including giant cactuses so remember my name and if you're coming to California contact me please talk to you later bye

[@TheahLil]

Hi! I love the peps and am getting into them more and more. In general I go with with a chunky soil for them - mix soil with pumice, coco chips, etc. Would you say that's true for even the less succulent peps? All peps the same? Thank you!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

I have this plant that I’m certain is a peperomia. A friend gave me a cutting but they got the cutting in an Etsy mystery plant cutting box and have no idea either. It has similar characteristics to peperomia trinervula ‘Bibi’ but it has this odd growth pattern and grows in this zig zag type of pattern. It’s super easy to grow and it’s made the little flower spikes for me but I still can’t nail it down for sure.

[@Ladylute6699]

I need to get some Peperomias!

[@nathancerqueira8810]

Argyreia, polybotrya, tetragona, caperata red

[@janethasmith1471]

Nice

[@riawhetstone3725]

Peperomia kimnachii & maybe graveolens 😊

[@zedgreenfingers]

What would you suggest if you do happen to over water your watermelon peperomia 🙄 and it has wilted. Would love a little advise.

[@laligonzalez3333]

Yeahhhh 😁

[@SoleilAlexa]

Hi. :) Great video. Do you have a video that include peperomia pepperspot ? I would love to see that. Love from Norway. 🌿💕

[@martynfuller4660]

I've had my peperomia red log for six months & it's doing fine. Just wondering if you could give me any more information or advice ? ( it's in a window facing southwest )

[@chelseamullins7000]

I just added a Peperomia Caperata Pearl to my growing jungle 🌱💚 she's even flowering! Will Peperomia cross pollinate with other plants?

[@kamiaesanto]

Hello! Thank you for the very informative videos! Could you do one with African house plants? Take care,

[@jessicadaniels536]

I didn't see a ruby cascade or a Peperomia Hope, or Peperomia peperomioides? Or is the Peperomioides a Peperomia? Gorgeous collection!

[@tjeanav]

I have a peperomia rubella. I love it. I don't understand why it grows in "U" shaped directions. Do you know why it does that? THANKS. I loved this video.

[@lindalieu1440]

Great video. What is the difference between rosso and pear.

[@myfirstnovel]

Just bought the hope, which makes probably 15 or so pep variety. I notice you don’t seem to have the depressa which I would not recommend right now, because it’s doing quite the number on me and turning crispy... :(

[@aasiyamuhammad7899]

I have 2 large terrariums with peperomia (waxy) a varigated with african violets. What other peperomia would work under the same conditions?

[@StrangeDisposition]

I recently got a peperomia meridiana and it looks like a smaller leaf version of fraseri, I hope it’s not as difficult 😪

[@SpacyMidnight]

I wish you could make a video on good books. A good book with all the trees. One with all the houseplants , the flowers we love and grow and buy and the wild flowers.. is there one with all the peps maybe ? :) i always wondered what background you have. Do you have a doctordegree?

[@Danielwright]

I can’t find Watermelon peperomia anywhere around me. What is the best play to buy online?

[@cherylyeo25]

i have a peperomia hovia which may also be incana - its fuzzy / velvety. i have been growing it since dec 2019. lately it been having spots (black almost like it got chicken pox on the leaves). M not sure what is causing it -sunlight (burnt) or again, water issues. it sits in a long terracotta pot since i got it. i trim off the poxed / leaves with spots. it grows okay for while and then spots come back. please help!

[@kristensoong]

Where's your P. hoffmannii? That's my favourite!

[@summerrayneoakes]

It's in the biopod, but you'll see from an upcoming video that it may have dissolved...My biopod is REALLY weedy now!

[@emberbencomo9487]

I just recently got my hands on a Peperomia caperata ‘Silver Frost’ and I’m in love! 😍 It’s even in florescence but as of lately it’s been more droopy than normal and I know it’s not because it’s thirsty. As of late his spot has been less sunny so could that cause the fluorescence to droop? Help plant community! 🤔

[@vanessacampbell4874]

I have a few but my favorite is an Incana. I wish I could find a little more about it. IT's at my desk at work and I just love it's fuzzy feeling leaves. I would like to know a bit more about propagation of it. It's started to get kind of leggy so I cut some of the top back a bit. So far in water they're not producing roots after 2 weeks. Any thoughts?

[@livross4264]

Many plants take 4 to 5 weeks to start rooting. Change your water weekly and check for signs of rot when you do. So long as the cutting seems alive and healthy, it should be fine!

[@Nadia-ls6qx]

my peperomia ferreyrae grew like a wild child however this happened to me last year with her when she was small at the time she had her leaves not open "like a hot dog bun." This year she did the same why is that? i do put her in a indirect bright light, i wonder if she will do the same as last year because water is not the issue.

[@100roxylove]

Hi Summer! I was just in Puerto Rico and I found peperomia Serpens at the base of a waterfall! I brought a couple pieces home with me to New Jersey and now I’m wondering if I should plant it in soil or in water so it can grow more stable roots. Do you have any advice? Thanks!!❤️

[@summerrayneoakes]

might need a little terrarium climate.
