Peperomia trianae
An Andean Peperomia of the cloud-forest belt, recorded mainly in Colombia's Central and Western Cordilleras and also near Mindo in Ecuador, mostly at 1,500-2,850 m. Its field records come from humid premontane and montane forest, including regenerating forest and green areas around MedellÃn, Manizales, Cali and Popayán. Little has been written about it for growers, so this profile relies on those records and on general care for highland Peperomia.
Where it grows wild
One label describes it in humid premontane forest 30 years into regeneration. Many other records are observations in forest remnants and wooded slopes. The sources available did not say whether it grows mainly on the ground, on banks or as an epiphyte; montane Peperomia commonly grow in all three, on mossy surfaces in the humid understory.
Records with elevations run from about 1,500 m (Cundinamarca) to 2,850 m (Cerro Quitasol, Antioquia), and most fall between 1,700 and 2,650 m.
