This peperomia is highly valued as a decorative plant. Its compact shape and small, oval leaves complement any decor. The “Marble” variety has marbled foliage in varying shades of green. In addition, the colored varieties are more resistant to sunlight than the all-green variety. Peperomias do not like overwatering and prefer to be kept small in their pots.
