Peperomia asperula

Highlights

Peperomia asperula (Hutchison): A rare stemmed succulent from Peru. The glaucous, light green foliage appears folded and has prominent leaf windows. The stem can turn woody at the base and, once established, it can produce a white bloom spike multiple times a year.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
