Peperomia croizatiana

A small clump-forming epiphytic Peperomia known only from Venezuela, described from about 100 m in Yaracuy. It has erect magenta-spotted stems and thick, leathery, cup-shaped leaves 15–26 mm long, mostly in pairs, with pale green flower spikes up to 10 cm. It is threatened and almost undocumented in the wild, so grow it as a warm lowland epiphytic peperomia with bright filtered light and a drier winter.
