It got is as an unlabeled hanging basket at HD so I'm not 100% sure. Black Jungle is listing this species as "Peperomia rotundifolia var. pilosior." It is a really fast growing pep, the pic is of a new shoot which are red, but in a few weeks the red will be replaced with green, and the leaflets will become plump with water.

Its Pep. prostrata. I swear, they must get these names from thin air. Haha.

P rotundifolia var pilosior is one of the many vars of rotundifolia lumped back in as just the species. Your plant is P prostrata as Antone pointed out. When I first bought prostrata years ago it was labeled as your is, P rotundifolia var pilosior. Maybe Black Jungle got it at the same place. They should know better though. All P rotundifolia I have seen is plain green round leaves. No markings.

I have notices a few "discrepancies" in some of their plant labels as well...

Thought I'd show some of the epi-blueberries. They were just looking so nice today!

Antone, I love the botanical input you and Jason post on this forum. Those berries in the last pic are awesome! Do you often sell cuttings of your plants?

JoshH · #**498** (**permalink**) 03-25-2009, 02:04 AM

Antone, where are you finding all of those?!? They're awesome, do you know where they are from?

Very nice Antone

what kind of berry production do you get from them? The foliage is beautiful. Too big for a viv?
