Peperomia angulata 'Rocca Vivace', commonly known as the Beetle Peperomia, is an attractive, easy-care houseplant with beautifully striped foliage and a graceful, gently trailing habit. Its narrow green leaves are decorated with darker longitudinal stripes and carried on contrasting reddish stems, making it an excellent choice for shelves, plant stands or hanging planters.
Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Peperomia angulata naturally grows beneath the forest canopy, where it enjoys warm temperatures and bright, filtered light. 'Rocca Vivace' combines this exotic appearance with an easy-going nature, making it ideal for beginners and experienced plant lovers alike.
Also known as a Radiator Plant, like many members of the Peperomia genus, it thrives in warm indoor conditions. Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry between waterings, avoid prolonged soggy soil, and position it in bright, indirect light for the healthiest growth. Like other Peperomia, it is non-toxic to cats and dogs.
