Burbella Peperomia is a charming and resilient plant. Known for its small, crinkled leaves with dark veining against a silvery-gray background, this variety is as tough as it is delicate. Commonly referred to as the Radiator Plant, Peperomia thrives in the warm conditions near heat sources, making it a versatile choice for various indoor settings. Its compact size is perfect for seasonal displays or terrariums.

Best Locations For Growing Burbella Peperomia

Burbella Peperomia flourishes when grouped with other houseplants, adding interest with its unique foliage. Place it on a tabletop or low shelf where its colors and forms can be appreciated up close. It also thrives in bathrooms or kitchens with lower light levels, benefiting from the warmth and added humidity. This plant performs well under artificial lighting, such as in offices or public spaces. Additionally, it is non-toxic to both people and animals.

Burbella Peperomia Sunlight Requirements

Medium to diffuse bright light helps keep Burbella Peperomia’s foliage vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, such as from a south-facing window, as it can cause the leaves to fade and scorch. In lower light conditions, the plant requires less frequent watering, so be sure to check it regularly to prevent overwatering.

Burbella Peperomia Care

Ideal for novice gardeners, Burbella Peperomia can tolerate warmer spots near heat sources and inconsistent watering due to its fleshy stems. It thrives with minimal care. Use a well-draining pot and a potting mix that balances drainage with moisture retention. An all-purpose indoor mix with added perlite is recommended. While the plant can handle warmth from heating vents, it should be protected from cold drafts. Keep it away from AC vents in the summer and avoid drafts from doors in the winter.

Watering Burbella Peperomia

Water about once a week to keep the potting mix consistently moist, allowing only the top 1/2 to 1 inch of soil to dry between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to every 10-14 days. Typical indoor humidity levels (30-50%) are sufficient, but increasing the humidity level using a humidity tray or grouping the plant with others can enhance growth.

Feeding Burbella Peperomia

Apply an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer at half the manufacturer’s recommended strength once a month from spring to summer. Cease regular fertilizing when days shorten in the fall.

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
