Peperomia dolabriformis

Introducing the Peperomia dolabriformis, a distinctive and charming succulent that calls the arid landscapes of South America its home. This unique plant, often referred to as the "Prayer Pepper," showcases a remarkable leaf structure that resembles the pages of an open book, with its deep green leaves featuring a lighter, almost translucent "window" along their curved tops. This adaptation not only adds to its visual appeal but also allows for efficient photosynthesis in low-light conditions.

Growing to a modest size of about 8 inches in both height and width, the Peperomia dolabriformis makes for a perfect desk companion or a delightful addition to a shelf display. Its compact form is complemented by a pleasing, bushy growth habit, which adds a touch of lushness to any space without overwhelming it. While it may be a slow grower, its low-maintenance nature more than compensates, requiring only minimal care to thrive.

In the warmer months, this succulent surprises with delicate, yellow-green flowers that emerge on slender spikes, adding an unexpected element of interest. Though the blooms are modest, they offer a gentle contrast to the robust foliage, creating a harmonious display. The Peperomia dolabriformis is not only a feast for the eyes but also a resilient and forgiving plant, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned succulent lovers and novices alike.

Whether nestled among a collection of succulents or standing solo, the Peperomia dolabriformis brings a slice of South American beauty into your home, infusing spaces with its unique form and vibrant life.

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!
