Peperomia emarginella ‘Ecuador’ – Miniature Trailing Peperomia (Tiny Turtles) 3" pot

Peperomia emarginella ‘Ecuador’ is a tiny-leaved, trailing epiphyte native to the humid cloud forests of Ecuador. This charming species features dense mats of round, succulent-like green leaves on delicate creeping stems, making it ideal for terrariums, vivariums, or hanging planters. Its compact form and slow growth habit make it a low-maintenance, space-saving option for tropical plant enthusiasts.

Thriving in bright, indirect light, P. emarginella prefers high humidity (60–90%) and well-draining, airy substrates. It can be grown mounted, in soil, or even as ground cover in bioactive enclosures. With its fine texture, lush appearance, and ability to thrive in high-moisture environments, Peperomia emarginella ‘Ecuador’ is a favorite for adding a soft, natural carpet to any miniature jungle setup.
