| Description | 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. As with other peperomias they require care similar to other succulent plants. Most conditions within a home in temperate regions should be fine to accomodate the plant. Humidity and light are important, and avoiding overwatering. Greenhouses, conservatories and windowsills are best suited places to grow this species. |
