It features an array of deep green, glossy leaves arranged in symmetrical, parallel rows along red-hued stems - a pattern that has inspired its unique name.

This slow-growing plant is perfect for those new to houseplants or those with a less-than-green thumb, as it is quite forgiving and easy to care for. As an added bonus, the Peperomia 'Parallel' has the potential to develop small, spike-like inflorescences. These tiny, inconspicuous flowers emerge from the leaf axils and add a subtle charm to the plant's overall appearance.

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!
