Peperomia are forgiving plants that adapt well to indoor conditions. As long as you avoid extremes — too much water or too little light — they thrive with minimal care. Perfect for plant lovers who want greenery that doesn’t outgrow its space.

"Peperomia do best in bright, indirect light. Too little light causes legginess; too much direct sun can scorch leaves. East- or north-facing windows are ideal, or filtered light from a south/west window.
- Variegated types need a bit more light to maintain patterns.
- Solid green types tolerate lower light better.
