The very popular peperomia plant is a great choice to add color to any room or office. Whether you have one peperomia plant or several grouped together, this attractive plant will brighten up any interior office workplace.

1. There are over 1,000 species of peperomias growing throughout North and South America and the Caribbean. All of them are tropical plants and considered to be semisucculents. They have thick, juicy stems and leaves that hold water in reserve. Besides being attractive plants, peperomias make a nice gift to anyone with marginal green thumbs because they're so easy to grow. Basically, the only way to kill this plant is by overwatering it.

Basic Description of Peperomias

2. Peperomias are slow-growing tropical plants that are found on tropical floors or at the base of trees in a tropical forest. For this reason, they don't like direct sun and thrive indoors in a variety of lighting. They actually thrive under fluorescent lightswhich makes them an ideal candidate for the office.

3. The attractive stiff, waxy succulent-like leaves will catch your eye and depending on the species, the leaves may be variegated, wrinkled, or white-edged. There's one species, the Peperomia argyreia that is striped and looks like a watermelon. It's very attractive but can be used in your indoor office interiors.

4. Most peperomias do not flower in the traditional sense. Their flowers are a long, rat-tail like stem with tiny greenish flowers on an upright spike. Once this spike dies, remove it and the plant may bloom a second time during the summer months.

Caring For Peperomias

5. Without a doubt, peperomia care is very easy in your interior office environment. Peperomias can live in a variety of light situations from low to very bright. They do not like direct sunlight. High heat is not a problem with this plant and average interior office temperatures are fine. Surprisingly, they do not need high humidity or constant misting to live. They are just fine with an occasional misting during the summer months and low humidity of your interior office envirnment.

6. As with all succulents, peperomias do not like to be repotted frequently. They are slow growers and you'll probably repot them only once or twice in their lifetime. They live practically forever which is another reason why they're an ideal indoor office plant for Burligton, MA. 

7. The quickest way to kill these plants is by overwatering. Peperomias retain water in their leaves and stems so don't water them until they are nearly dry. After you water them, wait an hour and empty any residual water out from the base. These plants need to be fertilized about once every 3-4 months in spring and summer and no fertilizing during the winter months.

Who created these numerous varieties of Tulipiafor your office interiors?

1. It was a university botanist – or bloemist, as the Dutch would say – who hit upon the notion of breeding more and more exotic-looking varieties, and thus (unknowingly) set in motion the series of events which would forever link his homeland to tulips.

2. Carolus Clusius, working with Viennese seeds in the botanical garden of Leiden University, discovered that some bulbs produced unusual variegations or dramatic colorings, instead of the uniform colors for which tulips were known.

3. Clusius began weeding out the simpler varieties and breeding only the ones which seemed most stunning and unusual. Throughout Haarlem, multicolored tulips became the must-have. Tulips with white backgrounds splashed with vivid reds or pinks were hottest, with purple markings the next most-prized. Dark colors on a yellow background were collectible, too, though not to everyone’s taste (not for nothing were they termed “Bizarden”).

4. Bloemists like Clusius soon noted that only bulbs and buds passed on the most dramatic markings, which meant literally only a few owners at a time might have a particular tulip, and that it would take years for there to have been enough buds and successive bulbs for those numbers to swell. When a new tulip appeared, only the wealthiest, most well-connected buyers could dream of possessing it. PDI services Boston Office Plants.
