Peperomia grows as a neat, compact mound of thick succulent-like leaves, reaching 8–12 inches tall and wide. The foliage ranges from solid green to red or silver depending on variety, making it handsome even without flowers.

Bright indirect light from a window, water when the top inch of soil dries, and average indoor humidity. These are nearly fuss-free, though they'll sulk in cold drafts and soggy soil.
