Native habitat and growth pattern
Peperomia Pepperspot is native to the rainforests of South and Central America, where it grows as an epiphyte, attaching itself to trees and branches instead of rooting in the soil. In its natural habitat, it thrives in warm, humid conditions with dappled light. Indoors, it adapts beautifully to UK homes, trailing elegantly over the sides of pots or hanging planters.

Size
