Peperomia dolabriformis’ taco-shaped leaves have translucent sections on them called ‘windows’. They are an evolutionary adaptation to allow in more light. With these beautiful leaves like this, who wouldn’t want more?
When I got my Peperomia dolabriformis from the shop, some leave fell off in transit. With the summer a while away, I wanted to speed up the re-growth process. Using Keiki paste, you can get your plant looking bushier even while dormant.
Follow these steps to get your plant budding.
Nodes will show up as pock-marks on the stem. Sometimes you can already see baby leaves growing out from them.
You can also find nodes just below and above the leaves.
Take a tiny amount of Keiki paste onto a cotton bud. Swab the paste onto each node.
The Keiki paste can take up to a month to work. While you wait, give the plant optimal light conditions. For Peperomia dolabriformis, this will be bright light Maintain at least 60 % humidity to help the plant along.
The results
New leaves will emerge on the nodes you painted with Keiki paste
