Peperomia Raindrop - Live Plant in a 2 Inch Pot - peperomia Polybotrya - Rare and Elegant Indoor Houseplant

Peperomia plants belong to a wonderful genus of tropical plants native to Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. With more than 1,000 known species, these hearty plants boast thick, fleshy leaves that contribute to their drought tolerance and vigor. The Peperomia plant is a smart choice for beginner houseplant enthusiasts. Not only are they forgiving plants that tolerate some benign neglect, but also the spectacular variety of colors and textures available within the species means that you can amass an interesting collection of plants for every style and space, all of which require the same care. You should water a peperomia plant once the top 1-2 inches of the soil dries completely and then water the plant thoroughly. In their native tropical environment, peperomia get plenty of humidity, so for the healthiest plant, you’ll want to replicate that at home. If you live in an arid climate, you can use a humidifier or pebble tray to boost the humidity level. However, peperomia are fairly forgiving plants, and yours may do just fine in drier air. Peperomia plants will do best in bright, indirect sunlight. An east or west facing window sill is ideal for them at most times of the year. The only thing to watch for is to ensure they don’t get excessive direct sunlight during the summer months, as this can cause leaf scorching.
