Growing Joy with Plants - Wellness Rooted in Nature, Houseplants, Gardening and Plant Care Peperomia 101 with Nick Pileggi
So glad to have Nick from @phillyfoliage and Nick Pileggi on Youtube join me for a discussion on Peperomia 101. This interview happened during our Live Taping at Urban Jungle Philly this summer. Peperomia are such a wonderful houseplant variety and such a perfect plant for beginners. We are lucky to have Nick walk us through the history, care and fun facts and troubleshooting tips for our peperomia plant babies!
In this episode we learn:
- How Nick Pileggi began his career in plants with no degree in horticulture and became the houseplant curator for Urban Jungle Philly and the epic youtube planty personality we know today
- How many varieties of Peperomia Nick owns (you’ll be shocked!) and his favorites
- Peperomia IRL: where we find them in Nature
- How many different varieties of Peperomia are known and how they differ
- Best watering practices for Peperomia
- Best light for Peperomia
