Peperomia Raindrop earns its name with plump, glossy, teardrop-shaped leaves held on short stems, forming a compact, tidy plant that rarely outgrows its spot on a desk or windowsill. The leaves have a succulent thickness that keeps the whole plant looking fresh and polished.

Bright, indirect light suits it; direct sun can scorch the foliage. Because those thick leaves store water, let the top inch or two of soil dry before watering again, and err on the dry side in winter. Ordinary room humidity and temperatures are fine.
