Scientific Name: Peperomia Scandens
Other Names: Acrocarpidium Scandens/False Philodendron/Hanging Peperomia
Family: Piperaceae
Genus: Peperoma
Native: Tropical and sub-tropical South America and Africa
A vining, epiphytic plant, this is one of the most popular Peperomias to grow because of its hardiness. A sturdy trailer with glossy lime green, heart-shaped leaves, it acquires an elegant form with growth as its stems arch outward and upward most gracefully. As with other Peperomias, this species too has thick, stout stems and fleshy leaves. Container-friendly, particularly beautiful in a hanging container, and ideal for small indoors spaces and tabletops, this will grow to a creditable height of 36 inches, extremely big for most Peperomias.
*Highly rated as an airpurifier when placed indoors.
**Sold in a 4" small standing and a 6.9" medium hanging container
***All our plants are organically grown without the use of any chemical fertilizers, fungicides or pesticides.
