Peperomia warmingii
A small Brazilian Peperomia from the highlands of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, collected mostly on shaded rock boulders inside forest and occasionally on tree trunks. It is rarely grown, so the care below comes from herbarium labels and the climate of south-eastern Brazil rather than from growers' experience.
Where it grows wild
Herbarium labels describe it growing on rock boulders in shady forest (Pedra Azul, Espírito Santo), on shaded rocks at Lagoa Santa, on rock formations inside forest near Ouro Preto and Itacolomi, and once on the trunk of a low tree along a road. It also turns up on an inselberg and in limestone country. This is the Atlantic Forest and cerrado margin of south-eastern Brazil.
Labelled records run from about 380 m (an inselberg in Minas Gerais) to 1,300 m around Ouro Preto, with most collections from the 700-1,300 m highlands.
