About the Peperomia Hope Add a little round-leaf charm to your home with Peperomia Hope, a pet-friendly trailing houseplant with compact green leaves and delicate vines. Its flowing stems bring soft texture to a shelf, hanging basket, or mixed container, with rounded foliage that is just as lovely up close. This slow-growing plant has moderate care needs and suits a spot with bright to medium indirect light. Give its vines room to drape and enjoy a gentle cascade of greenery as it grows. Plant care Light: Bright to medium indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. Lower light is tolerated but can result in smaller leaves and leggier growth. Water: Allow the top couple of inches of soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly and let the plant drain fully. Do not leave it sitting in water for more than an hour, as this can cause root rot. Difficulty: Moderate. Air purifying: Known to remove formaldehyde from the air. Toxicity: Non-toxic and pet-friendly. Growth rate: Slow growing. Origin: Tropical South America. Product may vary slightly from the image displayed.
