Peperomia 'Cupid'

Peperomia Cupid 💚🌿 is loved for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves on soft trailing stems, making it a natural fit for hanging baskets, shelf edges, and windowsills. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it stays full and bushy instead of stretching out. This is a beginner-friendly plant that stays easygoing as long as the soil is not kept wet, since its thick leaves store water. Pro tip: pinch back long stems to keep it full, and the cuttings root easily in water or soil ✨.
