Peperomia rotundifolia is commonly known as the trailing jade, not to be confused with the popular jade plant from the Crassula plant genera.
Native to South America rain forests, the Peperomia rotundifolia is a perennial epiphyte plant species found crawling through and on rock crevices, trees, rotten logs and the forest ground. Within its natural habitat the trailing jade thrives on moisture, tropical temperatures and shaded sun. There are well over a 1000 Peperomia species that this plant belongs to and this one is quite different in appearance than others, but also has its similarities in terms of growth habit and succulent type leaves. These look great with other Peperomia varieties as part of a collection, and they group together well.
Trailing jade needs 0. 8 cups of water every 9 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5. 0" pot.
Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.
