About Peperomia
It is this lush green foliage which makes peperomias attractive indoor plants. As an indoor houseplant, peperomia plants don't grow more than 12” (30 cm) high. The smaller varieties may only grow as high as 6” (15 cm). Some species are more compact than others, and some types have a bushier appearance.The Peperomia genus has over 1000 species, but only a dozen or so make for good houseplants. The Peperomia caperata is one of them. Known for its heart-shaped, deeply puckered leaves, which range in color from rich green to hues of red or silver-gray, depending on variety. Occasionally the Ripple Peperomia will produce thin, cream colored flower stalks. Generally an easy care plant, the Peperomia can become “leggy” if not given enough sun.Sunlight
Medium to bright light. Tolerates low light. Not suited for intense, direct sun.
Water
Water once or twice a week, depending on season. Spring to summer, water as soon as potting mix begins to dry out. Fall to winter, allow mix to dry out almost completely before watering thoroughly.
