Peperomia scandens is a nice plant for vivarium culture that is widespread through Central and South America, such as the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, etc. It has beautiful green leaves that can have a slight sheen to them. It does well in moderate light and moderate to high humidity. Moist soil and sphagnum moss are helpful for rooting this species.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
