New Member looking for Peperomias or other odd palnts

I am an new member here and would like to find some new species of Peperomias. I have around 8 species now but would like to trade or buy new species. I also have an extensive collection of Aroids Rhipsalis and many other plants.

Ha. I've bought plants from you before. What species to you have now?

Good luck trying to find peperomia. They seem to be notoriously hard to find any but the most common specimens.

Best bet is to spend extensive time becoming a Google Ninja. Eventually you will begin to ferret out a plant here and there. Also frequent trips to ebay on occasion will turn up the odd specimen.

And if you really like to live dangerously, you can order from a company called glasshouseworks.com, but be warned, I've heard they can take months to ship a plant.

Its not that hard. I had over 40 at one point. The are a few people here with large collections that sell/trade through the classifieds

I think I have somewhere around ~25 or so, I think Rob from LittleFrogFarm/Joshs has quite a few too, might want to PM him and see what he has for sale. I wont have much ready to go until probably in the spring, trying to grow a lot of mine out so I can start to have plants not in the terrariums to sell to people so that the plants are clean.

Thanks for all the help. I will try to make contact with a few of the collectors to see if they will sell or trade me some cuttings. I have around 8 or 10 species now and am trying to find some others. I will try to get a list of the species I have at the moment I am trying to ID a few of them.

Peperomia blanda
Peperomia rubella
Peperomia trinervula
Peperomia tristachya
Peperomia sandersii
Peperomia obtusifolia
Peperomia prostrata
Peperomia enervis
Peperomia rotundifolia
peperomia japonica

I have more but have been unable to ID them all.

Brian, I may have a couple of others that aren't on your list. Shoot me a PM.

Mesa gardens still has some seeds, a few species I haven't seen in the states before.
