Peperomia rugosa C.C.Berg, E.A.Mennega & Tolsma (Peperomia 'Rugosa')
Peperomia 'Rugosa' is a visually stunning plant with thick, fleshy leaves that boast a unique color combination of deep maroon with contrasting lime green edges. This vibrant and eye-catching plant is native to the rainforests of South America and is a favorite among plant collectors due to its low-maintenance nature and striking appearance. Over time, the plant’s compact growth habit makes it an ideal choice for small indoor spaces, such as desktops and windowsills.
The plant’s dark maroon, corrugated leaves not only add texture to any plant collection but also provide an excellent resting spot for terrarium-dwelling amphibians, such as dart frogs. Its ability to retain moisture in its thick leaves allows it to withstand periods of drought, making it a great option for those who may occasionally forget to water their plants. Peperomia rugosa is non-toxic to pets, ensuring peace of mind for pet owners.
