Peperomia caperata, which is commonly known as Emerald Ripple Peperomia, is a semi-succulent species of Peperomia and is a common type of houseplant. There are many cultivars or variations of Peperomia caperata, but they all have ripply leaves that have a leathery texture. These plants are fairly compact and grow to be about 8 inches tall and 8 inches wide. In addition to being small, this plant is tolerant of low light conditions and is fairly low maintenance making it a perfect plant for offices or dark corners.
eperomia caperata grows best when kept in a location that is exposed to medium light that is typical of north-facing or east-facing windows. However, it can tolerate low-light conditions for several months. Although plants do best when they receive natural sunlight, these plants will also do well under fluorescent lighting.
Peperomia caperata can also be grown outdoors as a low-growing ground cover. When grown outdoors, these plants do best in partial shade. Ideally, they should only be exposed to direct sunlight for 2-6 hours each day. These conditions mimic Peperomia caperata‘s natural habitat.
