They may often be put in the succulent sections of many nurseries, but they are tropical and prefer evenly moist soils. For more detailed care information, click here.
Peperomia are pet safe! No danger here when it comes to our furry friends. Peperomia are a staple when it comes to tropical bioactive enclosures for reptiles and amphibians. They are tolerant of much, from destructive geckos to wet substrate required of some frogs. String of Turtles will either trail down from a mounted pot or background, or act as a groundcover if planted on the soil.
