I'll make it three for Prostrata. I've got it in my galact tank and it's going nuts.

I know the answer but will give others a chance to play.

Also, Pep. prostrata is not Pep. rotundifolia. They are 2 different species.

I thought they were the same
PEPEROMIA ROTUNDIFOLIA - CREEPING PEPEROMIA.
says they are... I was lied to

I'm not a Peperomia expert but what I can tell you is that Pep. prostrata is native to South America and P. rotundifolia is spread from southern Florida all the way down. The inflorescences on P. rotundifolia are short and white whereas P. prostrata has longer, thin, often reddish inflorescences. P. rotundifolia also has no foliage markings but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

alright, then
so is the rotundifolia var piosar that bj sells or has sold in the past actually a prostrata? that seems to have marked leaves if I remember

sorry to hijack the thread, but I can't guess again
