Peperomia trujilloi

Peperomia trujilloi is an epiphytic Andean peperomia from Venezuela and Colombia. It is named after Trujillo state, where it was first collected, and in Colombia it is recorded at 2,200–2,400 m. Almost nothing is published about its growing conditions, so this profile treats it as a cool, humid cloud-forest epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

It is recorded as an epiphyte in wet tropical montane forest. At 2,200–2,400 m in the northern Andes, that means cloud forest with frequent fog and mossy branches. No more detailed habitat notes were found.

The Colombian records are at 2,200–2,400 m. The Venezuelan type locality in Trujillo is likely at a similar montane elevation, but this was not confirmed.
