Nick pileggi books5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() There is so much to love about Peperomias! ![]() They are considered "tropical succulents", meaning they require small amounts of water, so I find them to be very low maintenance as I don't have to watch over them as often as some of my others. My favorite thing about Peperomias as I collect them is the many differences and similarities I notice between the species, each with their own characteristics that may mimic the traits of another. ![]() It’s a genus that is very rich in diversity, currently with over 1500 species. Basically, my job is all about plants, plants, and more plants!Īmong a few other groups of plants, I tend to gravitate toward the genus Peperomia. On top of that, I am the "Houseplant Expert,” which of course coincides with the curating aspect, so I help clients and customers select their plants for their space - whether it is just a small plant for a bedroom, or a large array of plants for an office building or lobby. My main purpose is to curate the selection of indoor plants at the store, which is a balance of carrying timeless plants such as Pothos and Spider Plants as well as stocking new, popular plants such as Philodendrons and Peperomias. I am the head buyer at Urban Jungle, a plant shop located in South Philadelphia. ![]()
