Closed Bell Terrarium - Peperomia ‘Zorro’
Peperomia ‘Zorro’ is a compact tropical foliage plant well suited to terrarium life due to its preference for stable humidity, moderate light, and warm, consistent temperatures. Unlike many Peperomia species that prefer airflow and drier conditions, ‘Zorro’ performs particularly well in controlled, enclosed environments when moisture levels are balanced.
Its tolerance for steady indoor conditions makes this plant an excellent choice for office environments, where temperatures are typically moderate and light is indirect. The closed bell terrarium helps maintain the higher humidity Peperomias enjoy while protecting the plant from drafts and sudden environmental changes.
A calm, resilient foliage plant that adds structure and depth to terrariums, desks, and shelves, ideal for modern, low-intervention indoor spaces
Light
-
Low to medium indirect light (approx. 700–1,500 lux)
-
Bright shade or filtered indoor light

Peperomia ‘Zorro’ does not benefit from temperature drops and may suffer if exposed to cold drafts or prolonged cool conditions, making it better suited to warmer interiors than cool-growing orchids.
