Horty Hints

Big Bold and... Uneven? Obtusifolia can grow quite tall and uneven. Fill in the blanks by pinching out the tips of the plant in early spring, causing it to bush-out.

Fertiliser or Infestation! If you notice leaves curling, check for pests. If no pests are present the likely cause is lack of fertiliser.

Divide and Conquer! Peperomia are one of the easier plants to propagate. Taking cuttings in the spring and putting them into a glass of water or wet compost will promote new root growth and eventually new plants.

Please note: images show how this plant may look at various stages of maturity. The size you choose may look different.
