Peperomia caperata ‘Greyhound’
Peperomia caperata ‘Greyhound’
Peperomia ‘Greyhound’ is a striking little houseplant with sleek, silvery-green leaves etched with deep green veins. Its heart-shaped foliage has a delicate, almost metallic look that makes it stand out in any plant collection. A compact variety of Peperomia caperata, this plant is perfect for small spaces, fairy gardens, or tucked into terrariums.
Despite its refined appearance, Peperomia ‘Greyhound’ is easy to grow and well-suited for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. It’s a thinner-leaf peperomia and can be a bit fragile—some leaves may naturally break or drop during shipping. The good news? Those leaves can be repurposed! Simply dip the fallen leaves in rooting powder, press them into soil, and you’ll soon have brand-new baby plants.
Peperomia Basic Care: Easy
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out almost entirely—up to 5 inches deep—between watering. A watering schedule similar to that of succulents and cacti works well.
- Light: It prefers medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause leaf burn.
- Soil/Drainage: Well-draining soil mixes designed for cacti and succulents are ideal, though they can tolerate a standard houseplant mix if they are careful not to overwater.
- Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in average room temperature and humidity.
Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
