Where it grows wild

Nothing species-specific was reachable. The sites are Andean montane forest and forest edge, where small Peperomia grow on mossy banks, rocks and low trunks; this is inferred from the genus and sites.

Records span 60–3200 m with a median of 2100 m; most climate sites are between about 1100 and 2700 m.
