The Peperomia originates from Central and South America. When the plant was found, it turned out to belong to the pepper family. Hence the name Peperomia.

The most common Peperomia is the Peperomia Obtusifolia. The plant can be recognized by its thick, round leaves. It absorbs a lot of moisture as it is semi-succulent. This means it’s easier to take care of Peperomia plants than most other indoor plants. The plant can suck up water, so you won’t need to water weekly.
