Peperomia trinervis is a creeper or trailer plant with small pointed leaves marked deeply with parallel veins. Peperomia is a perennial related to pepper plants, comes from a large South American family (about 1,000 species in the genus, a few from Africa). In fact, the name alone means “the plant related to the pepper.” Their succulent, heart-shaped leaves distinguish peperomia plants them from other small potted table top houseplants. Unique, succulent leaves both attractive and plants many find fun to collect.
