The Peperomia is an attractive, easy to care for houseplant. There are several species, and many different varieties of Pepperomia available to add to your collection. Peperomias are semi-succulent, so they should be kept on the dry side (Overwatering can cause root rot). Peperomias are susceptible to mealybugs, but are bothered by few other pests. Peperomias can be easily propagated by leaf or stem cuttings.
