Native to South America dwelling in rain forests, the Peperomia ferreyrae is a perennial epiphyte semi - succulent plant species that differs very much in its appearance to many other peperomia species.
Their appearance would not seem to relate to other peperomias that display rounded leaves, but they're closely related. I has whorled kind of peapod shaped leaves that are narrowly windowed near the length of the top grow along thick and sometimes tall semi - succulent stems. Stems become tall when the plant matures. The plant grows upright and kind of bushy. Training its growth may be required, otherwise stems full of whorled leaves kind of grow in an erratic fashion 'bent and twisted', but freestyle let the plant grow as it wishes could be your growing style. A small bushy type Peperomia ferreyrae can actually look like a different plant when viewing one that's become lanky stemmed, although you'll notice the leaves are the same, which may be the only way of noticing at first that they're the same plant.
Top and bottom watering both work well for peperomia plants. A important thing is that you water thoroughly, let a pot drain completely, and avoid getting water on a leaves.
Prune branches back to a natural fork to avoid leaving unsightly stubs. Cuts bleed if pruned in late winter or early spring so pruning should only be done between mid-summer and early autumn.
Whether your potted plants are indoors or outdoors, proper drainage is an essential element to ensure they stay healthy.
