Description

Peperomia caperata Steve s Leaves Chameleon This plant is just that… a chameleon. A sport that was discovered here at Steve s Leaves. Depending on the time of year and its growing conditions it can look different from month to month. One time all new leaves can be green or mostly green, pink, splotchy, or even white; as they gain chlorophyll the leaves and variegation change dramatically hence the name Chameleon; the end result is always different. The flower spikes are typical rat-tail like inflorescence composed of many tiny flowers. Excellent on the window sill or in a mixed planter. This plant tends to lose many leaves in transit but does not indicate the overall health of the plant. This Peperomia tends to prefer higher humidity than most (approximately 60% or higher).
