Peperomia ‘Cupid’ – Heart-Shaped Easy-Care Indoor Plant

Peperomia 'Cupid' – Soft Variegation with a Romantic Trailing Form

The Peperomia 'Cupid' (Peperomia scandens 'Variegata') is a charming, heart-shaped trailing plant with creamy green variegation and a compact, cascading habit. Its delicate vines and pastel-toned foliage bring a light, airy feel to shelves, desktops, or hanging planters.

How to Care for Your Peperomia 'Cupid'

Place your ‘Cupid’ in a bright location out of direct sunlight to preserve its variegation and prevent leaf fading. Use a well-draining soil mix (like cactus or succulent soil with perlite), and water only when the soil is dry to the touch.

This plant thrives in average home humidity and doesn’t require misting, though occasional cleaning of its leaves helps keep it vibrant. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer to encourage lush growth.

Its compact, vining habit makes it perfect for small pots, hanging baskets, or shelf edges where its gentle trailing stems can fall naturally.
