So new to these little guys, anybody grow them on stakes or moss poles?

I’ve never tried putting mine on a pole, but they are epiphytic, so it might climb one. I just wanted to let you know that you look to have a peperomia scandens variegata, not a peperomia obtusifolia, which is actually a trailing type of peperomia. You could put it in a basket hanger and let it trail like a pothos or philodendron, but as peperomias naturally enjoy climbing up trees, it’ll probably be just fine on a moss pole too. It’s just a matter of what kind of look you’d like yours to have. Here’s some references of what a p. scandens looks like as a trailing plant. Hope this helps! 😊
0 gillningarThank you very much, I’ve been stumbled on this plant since I got it, I have a couple in the pot so I will let one grow in a trail and the other up the pole😄
1 gillaSounds like a fun experiment. I’m curious to see what one would look like after being on a moss pole for a while, so definitely feel free to post a comparison between the two. And congrats on finding a scandens. I’ve been looking for one for a while, but they just don’t seem very popular in the nurseries in my neck of the woods 😅
