Peperomia scandens hanging pot

Peperomia scandens (Cupid Peperomia) – Hanging Pot

Add trailing greenery to any space with Peperomia scandens, also known as Cupid Peperomia. Its long, cascading stems are covered in small, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, so it looks great spilling over the edge of a hanging pot. Variegated forms have cream-edged leaves for extra brightness.

This is one of the easiest trailing plants to grow. Its slightly fleshy leaves store water, so it forgives the odd missed watering. It's perfect for hanging in a window, on a balcony or patio out of direct sun, or from a shelf, and it brings soft, natural movement to any room.
