Peperomia ‘Raindrop’

Description

The Raindrop Peperomia is an easy-to-care for, fairly compact indoor plant with succulent, heart-shaped foliage.  Raindrop Peperomia generally doesn’t grow any larger than one foot tall, which makes it quite an ideal house plant. Large, glossy, deep green leaves are thick and waxy feeling, resembling a heart in it’s shape.

• For optimal performance, keep your Peperomia at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Peperomias prefer to be grown in medium to bright, indirect light. They may tolerate lower light, but will not grow as fast or have variegation that is as vivid. Direct sunlight can lead to leaf scorch.
• If your Peperomia is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for more light. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even light distribution, and even growth.
• Peperomias aren’t all that fussy when it comes to humidity, but varieties with thinner, less succulent leaves may benefit from higher humidity.
• This succulent-like Peperomia prefers to dry out in between waterings. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry.
