The picture above is my flowering Peperomia orba plant that has been growing along the windowsill since I got it a few months ago. It gets somewhere between four to eight hours of sunlight each day and is labeled as being a Medium Light plant. It seems to be getting the appropriate amount of light and water, and even though the humidity is rather low where it is growing (only 30%) it still seems to be happy.
Until today, I had somehow not noticed that there was an unusual growth on this peperomia orba. I was surprised and immediately researched what the flowers look like for this plant and found out that they "produce greenish-white, panicle-like flower spikes." They aren't the most brilliant flowers to look at, but it's nice to find out that the plant appreciates the growing conditions I have been providing it and hopefully it will continue to grow and flower long into the future.

I had an unknown plant flower like this earlier this week too, come to find out it too is a peperomia. I think they are just ugly.....lol. Nothing beats a "real" flower. These spike-y flowers are just not my thing
ReplyDeleteI agree. I would rather have a beautiful looking flower...but it still makes me happy to have another "flowering" plant!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, an ugly weird flower is better than no flower.

ReplyDeleteI happen to love the Peperomia species as a whole & am rather intrigued by their diversity, from terrestrial to epiphytes.
Happy growing!!!
