Peperomia rotundifolia, commonly known as the Trailing Jade Plant, is a charming and low-maintenance trailing succulent native to tropical regions of Central and South America. Its distinctive, round, fleshy leaves are a vibrant green, often with a slightly waxy texture, giving the plant a glossy appearance. This easy-going trailing variety is known for its cascading growth habit, making it a perfect choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a ground cover. The Trailing Jade Plant is particularly admired for its compact size, growing to about 20–30 cm in height, with its long, slender stems creating a lush, draping effect. It is an excellent addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces, thriving in bright, indirect light.

Plant Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some light shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Watering: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging.
Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal. A cactus or succulent mix works well for this plant.
Fertilising: Use a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during the growing period to promote healthy foliage growth.
Pruning: Trim any long, leggy stems to encourage bushier growth and to maintain a compact shape.
Pests: Regularly inspect for common pests such as aphids or mealybugs. If detected, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or treat with insecticidal soap.
