One of my other little weirdos :) This is the first of its genus I've ever raised and it is sooooo cool!!

This is a peperomia asperula. Peperomia are usually tropical houseplants with large leafy foliage (not huge leaves, but strings of turtles belong to this genus too :3c). P. asperula are one of the few succulent varieties and they are SOOOOO cool to tend!!

They are very expressive plants that will close their chubby leaves as they deplete their stored water. After a nice watering, the leaves will open back up to fully utilize their translucent windows that help direct as much light as possible deep into the leaf itself. They're an incredible plant with such an awesome adaptation :)

#Creepy chatter #Creepy cacti #I have lol...many more plants but #I'm in a transitionary period with several so they are not in their ideal placements yet #Was waiting on the cicadas to quit fucking so vigorously on our patio so I could move a planter I've been establishing outside #Growing frost hardy succulents as well this time! :) also have a large sedum dasyphyllum Himalayan Skies specimen that I've been babying #Himalayan Skies and fat freaky haworthia are my favorite to grow lol #Just found a dormant haworthia truncata that has been bare root no dirt for at LEAST 1.5yrs #Potted it last week and insane but it's like lol...it's completely fine? Fallout should have had more haworthia freaks in the desert #Give this thing a few millenia (or 100yrs radioactivity) and this truncata will be telling you its pronouns
