Peperomia caperata makes a wonderful houseplant and it’s easy to care for. My plant sits on an east facing window sill, where it gets bright indirect light. I give it a thorough watering then let it drain. I treat mine much like a succulent, letting the soil dry before I water it again.

I grew this plant from a leaf that I removed from my mom’s plant. I placed the leaf in water, until roots formed and then planted it in cactus/succulent  soil. That one leaf has grown into a lovely plant.

Peperomias live happily indoors and enjoys temperatures of 65-75 degrees.

Below is a photo of my plant giving you a better view of its size and shape.  As you can see, it is still quite small. This variety of peperomia is not a fast grower. They like to be rootbound rather than planted in large pots. Therefore repotting does not need to happen for several years.
