  •   Peperomia 'Pepperspot' - String of Coins, also called string of coins plant, is a trailing peperomia from the Piperaceae family, native to the tropical rainforests of South America. It grows along humid, shaded forest floors in its natural habitat, which is exactly why it settles into indoor life so comfortably.

      The leaves are the main attraction here: tiny, coin-shaped, and densely stacked along thread-like vining stems that trail downward in long, cascading rows. Each leaf is deep green on top with reddish undersides and subtle striped patterning that gives the plant its layered, textured look. Hanging baskets suit it well, letting those stems trail freely without crowding.

      It occasionally sends up slim, upright flower spikes typical of the peperomia genus, though they are modest in size and carry no scent. The foliage does most of the work here, and the leaves will visibly wilt when the plant is thirsty, giving you a clear heads-up before any real stress sets in.

      This plant is pet friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs, so it fits into households with curious animals without worry. The trailing growth works well near kitchen moisture or inside a closed terrarium, where warm, humid air keeps the leaves looking their best. Stem cuttings root easily in moist soil or water within two to four weeks, so expanding your collection is straightforward. Rotate it regularly to encourage even growth on all sides, and keep it away from direct air conditioning or heater vents.

  •   Peperomia 'Pepperspot' - String of Coins thrives in low, medium, or bright indirect light and grows well under standard office LEDs, but direct sun, especially from south-facing windows, will scorch the leaves.

      Water when the soil has dried out fully, roughly every ten to fourteen days, to avoid root rot.

      A well-draining mix of perlite and standard potting soil works well, or use a dedicated succulent blend.

      Keep temperatures between 65 and 80°F (18 to 27°C), and never let it drop below 50°F (10°C).

      It grows at a slow to medium pace and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied once a month during spring and summer.

      This plant is hardy in USDA Zones 10 to 12, briefly tolerating temperatures down to around 30 to 35°F (minus 1 to 2°C) but performing best where frost is never a factor. Outdoors, it grows year-round in Hawaii, southern Florida, southern California coastal areas, southern Texas, southern Arizona, and Louisiana. Gardeners in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and sheltered microclimates along the Nevada and Oregon coast may have success outdoors, though most growers in those regions will keep it as an indoor or patio plant.
  • Q: Is Peperomia 'Pepperspot' - String of Coins, the string of coins plant, safe for pets?
    A: It is non-toxic to cats and dogs, so it is a safe choice for pet-friendly homes.

    Q: How often should I water the string of coins plant?
    A: Water every ten to fourteen days, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings. If the leaves start to wilt slightly, that is its way of telling you it is thirsty.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my Pepperspot turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves are almost always a sign of overwatering or soil that stays too wet. Let the soil dry fully before watering again and confirm the pot has drainage holes.

    Q: Can I grow it in a terrarium?
    A: It does well in a closed or semi-open terrarium, where the consistent warmth and humidity suit its tropical origins. The trailing stems fit naturally into both small and large setups.

    Q: How do I propagate the string of coins plant?
    A: Snip a stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in moist soil or a glass of water. Roots typically develop within two to four weeks in a warm, bright spot.

    Q: How much light does it need?
    A: It adapts to low, medium, or bright indirect light and grows under office LEDs without trouble. Keep it away from direct sun, especially south-facing windows, to avoid scorching the leaves.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
