These peperomia foliage plants, which we collectively refer to as ornamental peperomia, generally do not exceed 30 centimeters in height, making them very suitable for potting. Most of them grow under the forest floor, with very thick leaves and a waxy layer on the leaf surface. They prefer a higher humidity and warm environment and can maintain growth throughout the year. The flowers of ornamental peperomia are particularly inconspicuous, resembling a green string.
1. Raindrop peperomia (Raindrop peperomia)
Nowadays, few people cultivate荷叶椒草 (lotus leaf peperomia) (also known as raindrop peperomia). Its leaves look like raindrops, hence the name raindrop peperomia. It looks somewhat like mirror grass, but its leaves are sharper, and as they age, they will slightly curl like a spoon.

Raindrop peperomia is very suitable for keeping near a windowsill, requiring a bit of scattered light every day for normal growth. If kept under artificial light for a long time, its growth will weaken or even stop. At this point, simply move it to a slightly sunny area without sudden exposure to direct sunlight, and it can recover its growth.
2. Watermelon peperomia (Watermelon Peperomia)
Watermelon peperomia has a unique shape, with leaves resembling watermelon rind. It also has a variegated variety (Variegated Watermelon Peperomia) with better ornamental value, of course, at a higher price and greater care difficulty.
In hot weather, keeping a pot or two of watermelon peperomia on the windowsill in an office or at home can be very refreshing.
