This plant comes with a large and wide leaf shape, which as the plant ages, it will have holes that make it resemble swiss cheese. Additionally, this plant is a type of plant that is easy to grow.

Peperomia Frost is a perennial plant and is related to the pepper plant. It comes from a large South American family. In fact, the name alone means “pepper-related plant.” In addition, the succulent, heart-shaped leaves make this peperomia plant different from other small table ornamental plants. Unique, succulent, upright, or rosette leaves make many peperomia types attractive as indoor plants and fun to collect.

On the other hand, you should place most peperomia plants in bright, indirect sunlight at temperatures between 65-80 °F. Also, you should water these plants infrequently after the top inch of soil has dried out and fertilized monthly during the growing and potting season in well-drained soil.

"Growing well. Looks happy. When I received pepper frost some leaves are smooshed but he is thriving and growing well. Thank you."
