Kind of a silly name but maybe appropriate in this case. I found this one last month at a local greenhouse and I really like it. I know there are a few other pepperomia species that have those 'windows' that I am going to be looking for now.
Does anyone else like these succulent pepperomia

I do have a succulent that looks very much like that. Never knew its name. I'll have to look to see if it made the inside cut or was left to hope for the best on the south side of the house. If it isn't one of the freeze casualities, I'll pull it out and compare.

Whatever it is, it has not grown very well for me.
My cactus must be gods. They demand blood sacrifice.

I had a rather large one of these someone gave me, but it never grew well ...Never knew how much to water it, and I think I ended up not watering it enough. Never had luck with Peperomia...

Thanks for the feedback Bonnie and Christopher. I think ill do some further research on the pepperomias to learn more about their cultural requirements. It has multiple stems so I might try rooting a few to increase my chances of keeping it going.

Good morning Harry,

I like your plant very much!


I have only one Peperomia columella.
It has the Windows Your are looking for. . .

It lives in the greenhouse, minimal temperature about 5 ° C. A little water and no full sun.
I like the plant, it Looks so prehistoric. :wink:


Best wishes

It's an odd one indeed! I have not seen this species before.
If you ever get seeds on one of those flowers, just let me know and what you want in return for a swap...!

Good morning Aiko,

no seeds, I think.
but in the spring I can send an offshoot. You are not so far from me, right?

Regards

Hallo en groetjes uit Australie!
Uw plant is een absoluut schat, ik heb alleen maar de laatste twee maanden geinteresserd geworden in kaktussen en vet planten.
Zou U misschien bereid zijn om een kleine blaadtje naar Australie te sturen? Ik denk niet dat wij zo'n plant hier hebben, ik heb hem nooit eerder gezien in de winkels, alleen maar in boeken.
Kan ik U soms iets opsturen as wisseling?
Vele dank een plezier met de vet plant,
Groeten, K.

Sorry, I misread the post, I thought it was a Dutch person with the plant. ](*,)
I'll translate the above:
Hello and greetings from Australia!
Your plant is an absolute beauty, I have only become interested in cacti and succulents over the last three months.
Would you perhaps be prepared to send a small leaf to Australia? I don't think that we have such a plant here, I have never seen it before in nurseries, only in books.
Can I send you something as a swap?
Many thanks and enjoy your succulent,
Greetings, K.
