Peperomia quadrangularis
A small trailing peperomia of tropical America with thin, four-angled stems and paired, rounded leaves striped with pale veins, grown in the trade mostly as Peperomia angulata or 'Rocca Verde'. In the wild it creeps over tree trunks and mossy rocks in humid forest. There are no usable wild records for it, so the targets below come from the published habitat and the general behaviour of similar lowland to lower-montane trailing peperomias.
Where it grows wild
An epiphyte on trunks and branches or a lithophyte on mossy rocks in humid tropical forest, rooting along its fine stems into moss and thin humus. Like other small trailing peperomias it grows in shade to dappled light and relies on its semi-succulent leaves to ride out short dry spells.
No elevation data were available for this species. Trailing peperomias of this group are typically found from the lowlands into lower montane forest, so treat it as a warm to intermediate grower.
