Peperomia 'Hope'

Just as its name suggests, the Peperomia 'Hope' is an uplifting and delightful houseplant, originally hailing from the rainforests of South America. It is well-known for its beautiful, round, plump leaves that are a vibrant mix of green and silver. The leaves, which are often likened to those of a succulent, are further enhanced by their intricate creases, giving them a unique, rippled texture that adds a distinctive touch to any plant collection. Peperomia 'Hope' typically reaches a height and width of about 10 inches, although with the right care and conditions, it has the potential to grow even larger. It forms an appealing, dense mound of trailing stems, making it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a “spiller” plant in a mixed container. This charming houseplant is a relatively slow grower, but its compact size and attractive form make it well worth the wait. The base of the plant, where the stem meets the soil, may occasionally produce small, round offsets that can be used to propagate new plants, thereby increasing its impact and presence in your home or garden. One of the standout features of the Peperomia 'Hope' is its ability to produce delicate, slender flower spikes that rise above the foliage. These unusual flowers, which are usually greenish-white, are not particularly showy but they do add an extra element of interest to this already fascinating plant. The Peperomia 'Hope' is not only attractive but also quite hardy and easy to care for, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. It is tolerant of a wide range of light conditions, though it prefers bright, indirect light, and requires well-draining soil to avoid root rot. This, along with its compact size and trailing growth habit, makes it a versatile addition to any indoor plant collection or terrarium. With its interesting leaf texture, trailing growth habit, and easy care requirements, the Peperomia 'Hope' is a truly wonderful houseplant that brings a touch of the tropical rainforest into your home. Whether you are a beginner looking for a low-maintenance plant to start your collection, or a seasoned gardener seeking to add diversity to your indoor garden, the Peperomia 'Hope' is a plant that delivers on all fronts. It's a living testament to the hope and beauty that nature can bring into our lives.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
