Botanical Name: Peperomia tetraphylla 'Hope'

Common Name(s): Peperomia Hope

Peperomia Hope is a charming, semi-succulent plant known for its round, fleshy, light-green leaves that grow in pairs along trailing stems. This compact plant, a hybrid of Peperomia quadrifolia and Peperomia deppeana, has a delicate, layered look, making it a lovely addition to hanging baskets or as a trailing accent on shelves or desks. Native to tropical environments, Peperomia Hope is relatively slow-growing and typically reaches a length of around 12 inches.

Peperomia Hope does best in bright, indirect light, which encourages healthy growth and preserves its vibrant leaf color. It prefers well-draining soil and needs to dry out between waterings, as it is prone to root rot if overwatered. As a semi-succulent, it is more drought-tolerant than many other houseplants, so less frequent watering is generally better. It also adapts well to average indoor humidity, though it may appreciate higher humidity if possible.

Air Purifying Qualities: Peperomia Hope helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, adding a touch of freshness to indoor spaces.

Note: Peperomia Hope is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe, pet-friendly option for households with cats and dogs. While generally safe, it’s still wise to monitor pets to ensure they don't nibble on the leaves.
