Raindrop Peperomia
Botanical Name: Peperomia polybotrya
The Raindrop Peperomia is a charming, compact tropical plant with glossy, heart-shaped leaves that resemble raindrops — thick, shiny, and beautifully rounded. Native to South America, this easy-care houseplant is loved for its sculptural shape and resilience. Its upright growth habit and deep green foliage make it perfect for desks, windowsills, and small spaces that need a touch of life.
Often mistaken for a mini Pilea, the Raindrop Peperomia stands out with its sturdier leaves and subtle shine, bringing calm, modern beauty to any home.
