Peperomia Ecuador
Peperomia Ecuador 🌿 is loved for its small rounded leaves and tidy trailing habit, giving it a softer, more delicate look than chunkier peperomia types. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can spill nicely from a shelf or small hanging pot and stay full without harsh sun. This is a generally easy plant that stays manageable in smaller spaces, as long as it is not kept too wet. Pro tip: let the soil dry partway between waterings 💧, because this plant is much happier slightly dry than soggy.
