Pepperomia $29 Basket

Peperomia plants belong to a wonderful genus of tropical plants native to Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. With more than 1,000 known species, these hearty plants boast thick, fleshy leaves that contribute to their drought tolerance and vigor.

If you haven't experienced much luck with flowering houseplants, you will appreciate that the Peperomia sports ornamental foliage. Its leaves can be textured or smooth in red, green, gray, or purple; variegated, marbled, or solid; large, heart-shaped, or tiny.

Plants in the Peperomia genus can look so different from one to the next that it's difficult to discern if they are even related. All Peperomia plants are low maintenance, slow-growing, and can be planted all year long.
