Boho Blooms – Interesting Facts & Tips

• The name “Zorro” comes from the leaf pattern: The silver stripe across the dark leaf resembles the famous “Z” mark of Zorro.

• It is semi-succulent: Peperomias store water in their leaves. Therefore, they prefer slightly drier soil than most tropical houseplants.

• Easy to propagate: A single leaf cutting with part of the petiole can produce several baby plants.
