The Peperomia genus has over 1000 species, but only a dozen or so make for good houseplants. The Peperomia caperata is one of them. Known for its heart-shaped, deeply puckered leaves, which range in color from rich green to hues of red or silver-gray, depending on variety. Occasionally the Ripple Peperomia will produce thin, cream colored flower stalks. Generally an easy care plant, the Peperomia can become “leggy” if not given enough sun.
