Raindrop Peperomia
Peperomia Polybotrya
The plant, by the plant
If rain is just confetti from the sky, consider me the after-party. I'm the Raindrop Peperomia - glossy, teardrop-shaped leaves so plump and perfect they look computer-rendered. (They're not. I'm just like this.)
Plot twist from the cloud forests of Colombia and Peru: despite the name, I hate too much water. My thick leaves are built-in reservoirs, so let my soil dry out between drinks and give me bright, indirect light. The raindrop that doesn't want rain - I contain layers.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-25cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: totally pet-friendly.
Check before you water with a Moisture Meter, and let a Laiton Brass Pot in Gold catch the light off my gloss.

Care tips

Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
