Peperomia 'Ripple'

Ripple Peperomia 🌿 has rippled, heart-shaped leaves with deep texture that give it a fuller, more interesting look than a typical small foliage plant. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it stays compact and fits nicely on desks, shelves, and smaller spaces without demanding much room. This is a generally easy plant that likes a bit of consistency but does not want to stay soggy. Pro tip: let the soil dry partway before watering again 🚰—too much moisture is a much bigger problem than waiting an extra day.
