Baby Peperomia 'Piccolo Banda'

Peperomia Piccolo Banda, commonly known as the Peacock Plant or Radiator Plant, is an easily distinguished houseplant due to its leaf texture. Both light and dark green feature throughout, with deep veining and succulent red stems also on show.

These plants are very much on trend and show off great colour. 'Piccolo Banda' is a great variety to display on desks in your home or office, as well as in a partially shaded corner.

As well as being able to adapt to low light levels, it loves humid environments and is also relatively slow-growing, so will not be demanding in terms of pruning. Green spikes of small flowers will appear from its red stalks.

Growing your Peperomia from its baby stage into a mature, healthy plant is all part of the journey that brings joy to all levels of plant enthusiasts up and down the country.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
