Notes
Raindrop peperomia (Peperomia polybotrya) is a perennial for containers, accents, and indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun or part shade and average to moist, loamy soil. It stays 8 to 12 inches tall and wide with an erect habit. The green leaves stay on the plant all year, so it is easy to care for.
Pairs well with Manjula pothos, Swedish ivy, and Thai Constellation monstera.
