Description

Peperomia tetraphylla ‘Hope’ is a delightful trailing plant featuring rounded, coin-like leaves arranged in pairs along slender stems. This hybrid merges succulent characteristics with a soft, vining form, making it ideal for hanging baskets, tabletops, or terrariums.

Its thick, overlapping foliage cascades gracefully, offering a sleek, contemporary look. The gentle green leaves and compact trailing habit suit both minimalist and ornamental collections. Known for its easy care and distinctive appearance, ‘Hope’ brings understated elegance to indoor environments.

It also produces small, greenish-white flowers on fine, tail-like spikes characteristic of Peperomia species.

Environment

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can adapt to medium light but avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

• Soil: Grows best in a well-draining, airy soil mix, ideally a blend designed for succulents or orchids, with added perlite or coco chips for breathability.

• Watering: Needs moderate watering. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings, as the plant stores some water in its fleshy leaves. Overwatering should be avoided.

• Fertilizer: Benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength, applied once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Minimal feeding is required in winter.

Landscape Uses
