Botanical Name: Peperomia rotundifolia 'Rana Verde'

Common Name(s): Rana Verde Peperomia, Green Creeping Peperomia

Peperomia Rana Verde is a charming, trailing variety of Peperomia known for its round, succulent-like leaves that have a vibrant green color. This low-maintenance plant is native to South America and is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a cascading tabletop accent. It is a relatively small plant, typically growing up to 12 inches in length, with its rounded leaves giving it a compact and tidy appearance.

Rana Verde Peperomia thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to low light conditions. Like many Peperomias, it prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It is more drought-tolerant than overwater-tolerant, so it's important to avoid letting the soil stay too moist. This plant can handle average indoor humidity and doesn’t require high humidity levels, making it a great choice for beginners or busy plant owners.

Air Purifying Qualities: Peperomia Rana Verde, like other Peperomias, helps improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Though it’s not a major air purifier, its foliage contributes to a fresher indoor environment.

Note: This plant is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe and pet-friendly option for homes with cats and dogs. However, as with any plant, it’s best to monitor pets to ensure they don’t nibble on the leaves.
