Decided to combine my marbled and pepperface peperomia obtusifolias together a few weeks ago. Now one side is Sunny (marbled), with lots of yellow to her leaves, and the other side is Cher (pepperface), with much more green to her but some fun yellow and white speckling on her leaves. I love how each leaf has its own unique pattern. Just wanted to inspire anyone considering to combine their peperomias into a mega-peperomia to DO IT! š
Stunning!
2 gillningar Thank you! š canāt take too much credit for these two. I got them from a local nursery and they were in great condition when I bought them back in July and August. Their variegated varieties are a little criminally underrated in my opinion, especially since other variegated plants are a lot more finicky.

š Iām obsessed with variegated peperomias! I definitely agree that theyāre underrated

Ooooooh!!! ššš beautiful!!! Iāve been toying with doing this with my 3 ZZ plants (regular, raven, & chameleon)
1 gilla Ooh that sounds like a really cool combination! If you do end up doing so, my trick was to hold out on watering them until they both needed watering, so that when I watered them after repotting them, they werenāt on different watering schedules so I could start them both on one watering schedule. I think it definitely helped with stopping any shock from happening in the repot, especially since I did it in February. Especially with a ZZ, you donāt wanna risk one of them getting extra water from the other if they donāt need it yet. Iād love to see that if you end up combining them, so please post how it turns out if you do!
1 gilla Oooh good tip!!! Iāll have to keep that in mind if I do it. They do all need a repot this spring so I might try to tease them apart a bit. My only concern is the regular is in an 8ā pot, so most of the stems are longer than the raven and chameleon. Those two are only in a 5ā pot each so I might be able to find a few stems that are equal-ish in length.
1 gilla I bet itād look really cute if you placed them all in a corner or window together too, if you donāt end up repotting them together (I know those thick ZZ roots and rhizomes can make it a little tough to fit more than one ZZ in a pot) š I may or may not do that with my herd of peperomias and jades š (and may or may not have one dining room where all the windowsills are lined with peperomias in the summer)
1 gilla Hmm š¤ maybe you could make it a mix, like instead of 3 separate sections of ZZ (thatās if you can even manage to separate the shorter ZZ stems without losing some roots), maybe you could line the perimeter of the pot with the shorter stems and fill the center of it with the longer stems so it looks more even?? Either that or you just combine the two 5ā ZZs.
1 gilla Thatās a good idea too. I also like putting the pots together in one corner area too. Iām def gonna have to repot cuz I see roots coming out the bottom and the raven is pretty root bound. Iād do them all now but the regular and chameleon are pushing up so many new stems rn I donāt want to disturb them so sadly that means Mr Raven has to wait too. But I guess if Iām not able to tease them apart to create a 4th pot (bc who wants to go DOWN in plant numbers!!! ššš) then putting them all together would be a good idea.
