What it is
‘Hope’ is a trailing peperomia with small, round, thick leaves in groups of three or four along each stem. The leaves are fleshy and soft green, with faint lighter lines. It is a hybrid, often listed as a cross of Peperomia quadrifolia and Peperomia deppeana. Select-A-Plant lists it at under 15 cm (6 in) tall.
How to tell it apart
| Plant | Leaves | The tell |
|---|---|---|
| ‘Hope’ | Round, thick, in groups of three or four | Leaves in clusters around the stem |
| Trailing jade | Round, smaller, in pairs | Smaller leaves in pairs |
| String of turtles | Tiny, round, patterned like a shell | Turtle-shell pattern |
Care differences
Its thick leaves store water. Let the soil dry most of the way before watering. It suits a small hanging pot or a shelf edge.
Grow it from a cutting
Cut a stem with a few leaf clusters. Lay it on moist soil or push the end in. Roots form in two to four weeks.
Buying it
‘Hope’ is common at garden centers and plant shops. Look for full pots with short stems. Long, bare stems with leaves far apart mean low light.
