#29 of "365 Days of Plants" goes by many common names including "raindrop peperomia" and "coin-leaf peperomia" but is otherwise known as Peperomia polybotrya. It's one of my larger Peperomia and takes well to propagation.
I, of course, have done quite a bit of extensive care tip videos on Peperomia here on the channel, but this will give you an opportunity to appreciate Peperomia polybotrya in its full glory!
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

A friend gave me one a month ago, but it had scale. After I sprayed and cleaned the leaves, I thought I was going to lose it. In fact, it lost every leaf but 1; now it’s growing fresh new Healy leaves!

Hi Summer! Thank you for another well made and informative video. That's a really pretty variety of the Peperomia. I really appreciate your daily plant care videos. They help me a lot! TFS!

My polybotrya is so sensitive to the slightest amount of too much water. She drops her leaves immediately. Luckily she grows leaves really quickly too! Love the shiny leaves!

OMG...Estoy celoso! Me encanta Colombia pero nunca he viajado allá. Hehe. En mi cabeza he estado allá. Y yo creo que mi español es más que aceptable (es mi idioma segunda), no? 😅 Oye. Tengo curiosidad--Dónde los ves crecer en la naturaleza? Como...En los lados de la carretera? Necesito visitar su país... vivo en San Diego (en el estado de California), USA..pero las plantas que tienes en Colombia son BELLEZAS. Veo el canal YT de Candy Bu y ella vive cerca de Medellín, yo pensé... pero tiene vídeos de viajar por el campo y encontrar las peperomias, los philodendros, anturios, calateas, marantas... y más, todos salvajes. ✌🏽😅

I’m not a peperomia person but I got this one today because it was on clearance and looked like it needed saving. Maybe I will grow to like it but I am kinda happy I got it. It’s sitting on my windowsill. It’s west facing but the house next door blocks a lot of light from coming through my window so I think it will be okay. Plus I have a privacy sticker on my window. My neighbours house is really close.

Almost looks like pilea pepperomiodies, and actually thought the pilea was this plant when I purchased it. Pretty similar in care it seems, but different propagation methods lol

@erikm8372 Жыл бұрын

I have one that has massive leaves, but the entire plant is more bushy than tall still; it's about 6-7" tall by about the same width. But the leaves are like, 4-5" (one old leaf is 6") across on some of them! I love it so much. As far as care and hardiness, I've found it to be kind of in-between the succulent Pep's and the more tender types; it's not quite as drought-tolerant as species like _P. obtusifolia_ or _graveolens_ but it's considerably more succulent in nature than _P. caperata_ or 'Rosso' or 'Frost' types, that have soft leaves. It's just such a vast varied group of plants.

@erikm8372 Жыл бұрын

I think the same actually of the watermelon _P. argyreia_ ...at least as far as hardiness. That one is a bit more tender, grows from the base (rather than branching so much), and structurally it's more like 'Frost'.

Hello Summer! Mine is constantly tilting its main stem A LOT!. I keep turning it so it won't fall down from the weight but i was wondering if it's too cruel to tight the stem to a stick. It looks super healthy and when i moved it to a brighter area thinking that it needed more light the leaves got super yellow. Thank you so much!

@Rosesanddahlias 4 жыл бұрын

Hi. I love this plant and I know they say that it is really easy to take care of but they do not work for me. As soon as I get them in my house the leaves start to soften and then turn black and fall. I certainly don't overwater but can not understand what I do wrong. Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks

@Thevoidress 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this!! i have 2 quick questions for ya! will it be terrible if i propagate one of her leaves on an actual windowsill? Its a north facing window. I live in Los angeles but my window has a tiny draft. Do you think the draft or the cold at night will be detrimental? 2nd question! my soil feels a bit tight or dense/sturdy...should i take it out and massage and loosen some of the soil and repot with fresh soil and a perlite mix? ive been wanting to mix perlite in the mix anyway but im always so afraid to disturb them ahh! its been happy for the last year in the pot its in and i dont need to repot in bigger pot. I am just thinking i need to add perlite as well as loosen up the soil. Or should i let it be since it likes to be pot bound? Thank youuuu!!!!

Are pilea pepermeoides related to pepperomia? Can’t help but see the resemblance in leaf structure other than the pointed tip

Hey summer, just wondering why I've found it called pilea instead of peperomia.trying to figure it out, I bought the plant and it's named pilea instead, that's here in Australia. Also seen online different names. Anyone have any ideas let me know, thanks!

@lengo83 4 жыл бұрын

Hi there. I am a new plant mom, so no expert here at all - but i am pretty sure that those are two different kind of plants. The leafs on the peperomia raindrop look very similar to those of the pilea peperomia. Both are very beautiful. I have a little pilea-baby, that my father gave to me two weeks ago rooting in water at the moment. I hope it will survive once i will pot it in soil. I looove this plant. I hope this was the answer you were looking for. (English is not my first language) Have a nice day, greetings from germany :)
