Peperomia 'Raindrop' – A Compact Gem with Bold, Teardrop Leaves

The Peperomia 'Raindrop', also known as Peperomia polybotrya, is a striking tabletop plant known for its thick, glossy, teardrop-shaped leaves that resemble raindrops frozen mid-fall. With a tidy growth habit and a sculptural appearance, this plant adds instant personality to small spaces like desks, windowsills, or side tables. Its lush foliage and low-maintenance care needs make it a favorite for both beginners and collectors alike.

Often confused with the pilea, Peperomia 'Raindrop' is a true semi-succulent — meaning it stores water in its leaves and thrives with minimal fuss.

How to Care for Your Peperomia 'Raindrop'

Place your Peperomia in a well-lit spot that receives plenty of indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may cause it to grow leggy. Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and be sure to use a well-draining potting mix — a blend suited for succulents or houseplants is ideal.

This plant doesn’t require high humidity and adapts well to typical indoor conditions. Because of its thick, semi-succulent leaves, it’s more drought-tolerant than most tropicals. Avoid overwatering or letting the roots sit in water for extended periods.

Wipe down leaves occasionally to maintain their natural shine and encourage healthy growth.
