Peperomia

Peperomia is a diverse genus of small, ornamental plants native to tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Central and South America. Known for their attractive, thick, and often glossy leaves, Peperomias come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, with some species featuring variegated or patterned foliage in shades of green, silver, red, and purple. These compact plants are prized for their ability to thrive in low light and their relatively low-maintenance nature, making them popular choices for indoor spaces. Peperomias prefer well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, as they are prone to root rot if overwatered. They also appreciate moderate humidity and should be kept in warm environments, avoiding drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations. With their decorative appearance, adaptability, and ease of care, Peperomias are excellent houseplants, ideal for adding greenery and texture to homes, offices, and small spaces.
