Peperomia "Hope" (Peperomia deppeana × quadrifolia)
Peperomia 'Hope' is a hybrid cultivar known for its small, round, trailing leaves and compact growth habit. With succulent-like foliage and vining stems, it combines the best traits of its parent species, making it ideal for hanging baskets or shelf displays. Native to Central and South America, Peperomia species are epiphytic and adapted to growing in organic, well-draining substrates. ‘Hope’ is a low-maintenance, pet-safe houseplant that thrives in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity.
Fun Fact: Peperomia 'Hope' is a cross between Peperomia deppeana and Peperomia quadrifolia, created to enhance vigor and trailing growth while retaining small leaf size and a compact form.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Its semi-succulent leaves retain moisture, so overwatering can lead to root rot.
Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as peat-based potting soil with added perlite or orchid bark to increase aeration.
Propagate: Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Root in water or soil, keeping humidity slightly elevated during the rooting process.
Bloom: May produce small, spike-like flower structures (inflorescences), though they are non-showy and typically grown for foliage.
