Rare Trailing Peperomia

A rare trailing peperomia from Bolivia, Peperomia Kimnachii has its roots hand-wrapped into a living moss ball, the form known as kokedama. Its branching shoots lengthen and drape over time, and will climb if given something to hold. The oblong leaves are slightly succulent, matte deep green on top and paler underneath, for a soft, layered look up close.

Ways to Display It

Each one comes with a Tray for Basic Planter in Grey Patina or White Patina. Keep it on the tray, or raise it on the Small Wrought Iron Planter Stand or a Granite Stand, both sold separately, so the stems have room to hang. As it matures, it works just as well on a shelf or hanging indoors.

An Epiphyte in Moss

In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, taking root along its own stems rather than in soil. That habit is what makes the moss ball work: the plant is content with its roots in moss for a long stretch. When roots eventually push through the surface, it's ready to move on, and the whole kokedama can be planted into a pot to keep growing.

IN A NUTSHELL

Sunlight Icon Bright, indirect light near an east- or west-facing window. Avoid direct sun.
Care Icon Water when the moss ball feels light and dry. Avoid over-misting.

Please note: Live plants may vary in size and appearance based on season and grower availability. Plants will continue to fill out and develop their mature characteristics over time.

Orders ship November 2nd.

Product Care

Learn how to care for your Kokedama on our Kokedama Care Guide.

Light

Peperomia kimnachii grows best in bright, indirect light near an east- or west-facing window. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Allow the moss ball to become light and dry before watering. Submerge about three-quarters of the moss ball in a glass or metal bowl of water for 10–15 minutes, typically every two to three weeks. Gently squeeze out excess water before returning it to the tray.

Temperature and Humidity

Maintain average room temperatures between 50–85°F (10–30°C). This species is comfortable in relatively dry indoor conditions and does not require frequent misting.

Growth and Pruning

Peperomia kimnachii naturally maintains a compact form, though its stems lengthen and trail as it matures. Prune stems at the soil line as needed to maintain shape, and remove yellowing or dead leaves.

Propagation

This plant can be propagated from stem cuttings.

In Water

  • Cut a healthy stem with at least one leaf.
  • Place the stem in water, keeping the leaf above the surface.
  • Keep in bright, indirect light and change the water weekly.
  • Once roots and new growth develop, usually within two to four weeks, transfer the cutting to soil.

In Soil

  • Dip the cut end in rooting hormone if desired.
  • Plant in a well-draining mix, such as potting soil with perlite and coco coir.
  • Cover with a clear dome or plastic bag to maintain humidity.
  • Keep the soil lightly moist and place in bright, indirect light.

Repotting

When roots begin to emerge through the moss ball, it's time to move the kokedama into a container.

  1. Choose a pot about ½ inch wider than the moss ball.
  2. Add enough well-draining potting soil so the top of the moss ball sits slightly above the rim.
  3. Place the entire moss ball, including the string and moss, into the pot.
  4. Fill around the ball with soil, keeping the top about ½ inch above the soil line.
  5. Water lightly and add more soil if needed.

Shipping Logistics

These will be shipped directly to you from our grower.

Any other Bloomist purchases will be shipped separately. All orders will be shipped via UPS or USPS generally on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, and only in the Continental US; we cannot ship internationally nor to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.

Live plants are shipped on a weather-permitting basis. If the forecast calls for cold temperatures along the shipping route, we'll hold your plant for the minimum number of days required to ship it safely.  Temperature swings in shipping can sometimes cause a temporary shock to a plant causing one or two leaves to yellow. This does not impact the health of the plant. Simply remove the leaves and care for the plant as directed. Live plants cannot be returned or exchanged. Contact us immediately if any issues with your order.
