'Hope' at a trade show, and she said
it was offered inconsistent care and
has weathered it beautifully. I say, sign
me up for any houseplant that takes a
licking and keeps on ticking.
Mark recommends P. prostrate
'String of Turtles' for its trailing
habit and patterned leave. He says P.
argyreia or Watermelon peperomia has
beautiful striping on fleshy leaves.
L&GR: Have you seen any
changes or innovations in
peperomia in recent years?
Andrew: The main change I have
seen is the growing demand for them.
Because of this demand, we have
slowly added new varieties to the mix
over the past 11 years. As the demand
has increased, so has the desire for
more unique and colorful varieties.
Maria: It is my understanding
that breeding work is on the horizon
trying to achieve more colors, forms,
and more prominent variegation and
variegation colors.
L&GR: How do you think
growers and retailers can
capitalize on the peperomia
category?
Andrew: Promoting the fact that
they are houseplant of the year, along
with displaying the wide variety of
options will increase sales in this
category.
Maria: Peperomia are easy - easy
to produce wholesale and easy and
successful for the homeowner. There are
a wide range of shapes and sizes and
there are choices for every light level.
Diane: By planning ahead and
starting now with production planning,
order extra plants, plan events, then
use our materials to
let customers and
consumers know
about this program.
Sometimes, all you
need to do is bring it
up and that's enough
reason for someone to
purchase them. All the
material on the NGB website is free to
use so make it easy on yourself and add
this to your marketing program.
L&GR: Does the production
or sale of peperomia present
any challenges for growers or
retailers?
Andrew: The recent surge
in demand has put a strain on
availability. Stock producers are
ramping up to fulfill this
demand.
Maria: In talking
with Mark, he
feels the biggest
challenge may
