Pepperomias? ....................................

7 years ago

Got some plants on clearance, seem to be mostly a mix of echeveria, some cacti and pepperomias.

    So, the begonia looking one, which has a spotty underside to its leaves, and red succulent one are all in the same family? Just trying to figure out how to look after them,

  • 7 years ago

    Can you post close ups of those. I can’t tell detail enough to confirm or deny from this resolution

    Ok will have to do that later. These pots are teeny tiny, like maybe 2”at most across. The red one is succulent and floppy with 2 tone leaves, both shades of red. Also, the leaves are not attached opposite to each other, they hang kind of loosely, makes me think it is going to be mounder/trailer. The green one that looks like a begonia is not succulent in the least, but is fragile and brittle, and like I said the underside of the leaves are spotted. The stripey one with the oval leaves has typical pepperomia rat tails at top, and the crinkly one I’m sure I have seen around, pretty sure that is also a pepperomia.

    Ok, I am noticing now that the red one has perked up, I gave them some water last night.

    Front right a Begonia, back left an Aglomenia, which only needs low light and very infrequent watering.

    I just googled aglomenia, looks very different? They were all pretty much bone dry, they were being kept outdoors and it is getting chilly.

    Saxifraga stolonifera is the fuzzy guy.

    I think the front right (in last photo, middle of first photo) is Saxifraga stolonifera. Front left (last photo, lower right in first photo) may be a begonia, but I can't really tell for sure from the photos.


    It would help to see individual photos of the plants.

    Sorry, typo : back left an Aglaonema.

  • 7 years ago

    Bingo! I think it IS sax. stolonifera, Well what do know, hard to tell when so small.

  • 7 years ago

    The Saxifraga is a hardy plant that you should put in the Ground outside now, unless you live seriously far north.

  • 7 years ago

    It IS, and it does great as a houseplant too.

    I do not see an Aglaonema. Could you post new pictures?

  • 7 years ago

    I wonder how far north is seriously far north. I have never seen this grown in any garden here. It was being sold with cacti and succulents. I do not see an aglaonema either.

    Conflicting info on it’s hardiness.

    also, my garden is very very very far from the ideal location you are supposed to plant it into, heavy clay, crowded, slow to warm up in spring... hardly the type of garden to support rock plants

    S stolonifera is hardy but in a damp climate with heavy soil, like my mine, it looks awful outdoors. Nibbled and mud splattered. Much better indoors with cool temps and good light. Somewhere like a glazed porch.

    Well, I don’t have that, house is small and narrow so it is going front or back, will see how it does. For $1 I can’t be too sad. I think if I were further south, i’d be closer to a better growing zone. We don’t have forced air, so there’s that. I may try it on my back window upstairs, geraniums have been doing ok there.

    I’ve potted them up, clearance plants, some recent acquisitions from a fund raiser and some plants I already had.

  • 7 years ago

    Here are a couple I have been growing from teeny tiny babies.

    And if any body knows what this chewed up one is ... I’ve had as long as the rhipsalis and the euphorbia but it got attacked by squirrels and I probably planted it upside down or something as it has never looked right ever since. And of course I forgot what it was.



    It is really kind of embarrassing, trying more watering and sun.


    oh, and one of the echeverias i got for a buck has popped off its stem, the stem was all corky so it was probably already broken, will the rosette root?

    Also, Thank you, to any who helped restarting my aloe, looks like it is going to be ok.
