Peperomia Thailand
Peperomia Thailand 🌿 has thick, glossy green leaves and a neat, compact shape that makes it an easy fit for desks, shelves, and smaller spaces. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, but it can also handle medium light and usually stays tidy without needing much fuss. This is a great easy-care plant for beginners or anyone who wants something low maintenance and reliable. Pro tip: take it easy on the watering can 🚰—its thick leaves hold moisture, so it’s better to let the soil dry partway than keep it constantly wet.

I read the reviews that noted the good packaging, so I was surprised that the two plants I ordered only had plastic wrapping around the pot. At a minimum, the soil was contained. The foliage was left loose and uncovered inside the box, so I can imagine that the plants rolled around a bit and resulted in some damaged leaves.
Looks nothing like the picture. Very disappointed with both the plants I ordered. Neither one looks like any of the pictures. I ordered the 6 inch
The plant arrived in the condition and expected and has held up well. I'm happy with the purchase. Very cute little plant to watch grow.
