Peperomia Caperata, a tropical gem within the Piperaceae family, is widely recognized for its distinctive and rustic foliage. Commonly referred to as the ripple peperomia, this plant stands out with its deeply ridged, heart-shaped leaves, showcasing captivating shades ranging from dark green to burgundy. A compact and slow-growing plant, Peperomia Caperata takes its time to reach a full height of approximately 8-12 inches, making it a perfect choice for tabletops, windowsills, terrariums, and small living spaces. Peperomia grows best in medium to bright, indirect light, and it does not tolerate low light conditions. This plant should be protected from intense, direct sunlight. This plant is sensitive to both overwatering and underwatering. You should keep your plant slightly moist but not soaked. Check the soil weekly and only water when the topsoil is dry to the touch. Drain well after each watering. Caperata loves rich, well-draining soils that can retain some moisture.
