Peperomia 'Green Bubble' is a compact and attractive houseplant known for its distinctive, glossy green leaves that have a rounded, bubble-like appearance. The foliage is thick and fleshy, with a slightly cupped shape, giving it a unique and appealing texture. This Peperomia is small and slow-growing, typically reaching heights of 15-20 cm, making it perfect for small spaces such as desktops, shelves, or windowsills.
Native to:
Peperomia 'Green Bubble' is a cultivar of the Peperomia genus, which originates from tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. The species within this genus are commonly found growing as epiphytes or ground cover in the understory of rainforests, where they thrive in humid, shaded environments.
Water:
Peperomia 'Green Bubble' prefers to be watered when the top 2.5 cm of soil feels dry. Its thick, succulent-like leaves store water, allowing it to tolerate brief periods of dryness better than overwatering. Ensure the pot has good drainage, and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot. Watering should be reduced during the winter months when the plant’s growth naturally slows.
Light:
This Peperomia thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch, while too little light may result in slower growth and less vibrant foliage. A location with filtered light, such as near an east or west-facing window, is ideal.
Humidity:
Peperomia 'Green Bubble' prefers moderate humidity levels, around 50-60%. While it can adapt to the average indoor humidity, it will benefit from occasional misting or being placed near other plants to create a more humid microenvironment. Its small size also makes it suitable for terrarium growth, where humidity can be more easily controlled.
Temperature:
This plant does best in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. It should be kept away from draughts and protected from temperatures below 15°C, as cold can cause the plant to suffer. Stable, warm conditions will help maintain its health and promote consistent growth.
