PEPEROMIA DOLABIFORMIS ECUADOR 7CM

Peperomia dolabriformis 'Ecuador'

This miniature succulent produces compact green leaves on short upright stems to 12cm tall. Flower spikes with tiny flowers appear in spring on the growth tips. This species is very slow growing and needs protection in most climates.

Position - under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour. Flowering will only occur in good light. Will take mild frosts and moderate heat.

Watering can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry. Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in

growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape

of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce

larger plants with less colour.

Repotting can be left to overgrow their pots

or repotted in the warmer months in almost

any well drained potting mix.
