This peperomia is highly prized for the texture and color of its foliage. Its compact shape and small, heart-shaped leaves complement any decor. The 'Variegata' variety has raised, variegated foliage in different shades of green with white and cream. In addition, the colored varieties are more resistant to sun than the all-green variety. Peperomias do not like overwatering and prefer to be kept small in their pots.
