Raindrop Peperomia has flat, glossy, solid green leaves. They're thicker than most houseplant leaves, with a fleshy texture that stores moisture, making the plant more drought-tolerant than many other tropicals. Each leaf attaches to the stem with a noticeable dip at the base — this is called a peltate leaf attachment, where the petiole (leaf stem) connects not at the edge, but near the middle of the leaf. This feature gives the foliage a “cupped” or slightly uplifted look, almost like a spoon. Care Guide: - Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. An east or north-facing window is ideal. - Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot; ensure the pot has proper drainage. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows. - Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for succulents or cacti.
