Many Peperomias are known for their thick, fleshy leaves – you might be inclined to take a bite out of one, but we suggest you refrain from doing so. Despite having 1000 species, if you had a variety of Peperomias in a police line-up, a good chunk of the 1000 don’t have defining characteristics to distinguish them from each other even though they’re completely innocent. For those that you can tell apart, you’ll see some with heart-shaped leaves, others almond and some oval. You might encounter green leaves, marbled, striped, or even varieties that possess grey or red foliage. That said, the one throughline with Peperomia plants are that they’re slow-growing, can be planted all-year long and are very low-maintenance – making them the perfect housewarming gift or office desk accoutrement.
Loves bright light but no direct sun! Water infrequently; the leaves store water and, especially in winter, too much water will drown the plant, it's also not a big fan of misting. Pet friendly.
Peperomia 'Hope' aka Trailing Jade comes in a 5" plastic growers pot, plant height ranges 6" - 8" from the base of the pot.
