Peperomia Teardrop

Peperomia are a huge, friendly family of small plants with endlessly varied leaves — rippled, striped, silvered, trailing and more. This one is Peperomia Teardrop.

Difficulty: Easy.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Variegated types want the brighter end.

Care: Let the top half of the soil dry between waterings; semi-succulent leaves store water, so err on the dry side. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced plant food, and repot one size up when roots crowd the pot.

Size: Most stay a compact 6 to 12 inches; trailing types spill 1 to 2 feet.

Toxicity: Non-toxic — a safe pick for homes with pets and children.
