There are over 1000 varieties of these popular easy care plants that are mainly native to Central and South America. All Peperomias, which belong to the Pepper Family, are semi- succulents with very similar care requirements. The leaves are thick and plump and can be rippled or smooth and shiny. The colors of the leaves come in various shades of green, red, gray, & cream, displayed in solid, marbled and striped patterns. The flowers of a Peperomia are tiny & inconsequential, growing in clusters on upright conical spikes. When small, peperomias can be used in dish gardens and terrariums. As they slowly grow, compact peperomias are ideal for tables while other varieties make excellent hanging plants. Most peperomias never grow taller than 12”-18.”
