Peperomia emarginella

Peperomia emarginella is a miniature dainty creeping & trailing plant with some of the smallest leaves I’ve seen⁠—I’d say 1/8 inch! The leaves can develop fine white patterning as well once reaching full size. Being so “fine”, this plant is certainly liable to break no matter how well we pack it, so simply take any broken leads and stick ’em in the substrate, they should root without issue. Our 2″ puts consist of generally 3 or more rooted cuttings that have grown over the edge; as always, the smallest shown plant here is our target minimum⁠—expect that, but you might receive more.

General Care Information

Native to Central America, this plant is a true miniature. It can do well in wet conditions, and in my care has seemed to tolerate even significantly low light levels (although it needs higher light levels to thrive). Many report that it grows well as an epiphyte, roots well in moss, can be used to cover branches, fill in gaps, drapes elegantly. The bottom line, a winning plant that over time can really provide for fine textures in a variety of vivarium applications.
