Tender. A precious little shrub-like succulent with translucent-green pea pod-like leaves. He likes bright light but doesn’t need direct sunlight. A peperomia flower stalk is covered with teeny-tiny flowers that have no scent. Unlike most tender succulents, Peperomia don’t like to dry out completely between watering. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Peperomia axillaris is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant.
