Is this a peperomia? Picked up this beauty at Lowe's and I'm pretty sure it's a #Peperomia ? Or maybe a #LipstickPlant ? It's chilling in my quarantine greenhouse but I would really like to make sure I ID it correctly and that it's #nontoxic before it comes to live with the rest of my plants. :) (Becsuse of these nebby furbabies. #CatsOfGreg) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PetsAndPlants #peperomiapals #PlantID

Help with a plant ID… Hey Greggers! I need help identifying this plant. The label says Peperomia (assorted) and the Greg app is identifying it as an elephant bush. So… anyone know which it is? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantID #GregGang #Peperomia #ElephantBush

As you can see my pincushion, pepperoni is very straggly. Would you cut them off and heal them over and re-replant or leave it? #Peperomia

Unhappy Propagate Hello! My #Peperomia cutting has not grown in the few months I’ve had it. It is droopy and the leaves are yellow-green. Any advice?! Thank you!!! #PropagationStation #babyplants #NotSoHappyPlants #SlowGrowth #help #peperomiapals

Droopy baby rubber plant :( My baby rubber plant has been happy and upright for the two years I’ve had her, but both stems decided to go horizontal a couple of weeks ago. I repotted her last week and didn’t notice any signs of root rot. A leaf fell off today as well. Leaves are pretty firm, not squishy. I can’t tell if she’s over- or under-watered. Any insight would be much appreciated! #Peperomia #BabyRubberPlant

#FreshLeafFriday I know it would probably help if I zoomed in but I’m just so proud of these little guys! Not only are they shooting out new leaves left and right…but they look amazing!
