Description
Peperomia is a charming, compact indoor plant with thick, waxy leaves that come in a wide variety of colours, patterns, and textures depending on the variety. Its small size makes it perfect for desk tops, windowsills, and bathroom shelves. It stores water in its leaves, making it very tolerant of dry conditions. It is completely safe for cats and dogs — an ideal choice for pet-owning households looking for a small, decorative, and trouble-free indoor plant.
