AdrianI think that oneās considered a peperomia polybotrya āmojitoā, but hereās the ID link for the closest ID theyāve got for it. It is a variegated one, so the info should be the same for it. Just doesnāt have that specific variegation on the app yet. If the ID link doesnāt work, just type āvariegated raindrop peperomiaā or āpeperomia polybotrya variegataā into the ID search. Hope this helps! https://link.getplanta.com/5dMlUNYpRj

No problem! š Peperomias are one of my favorites. If youāre new to this type of plant, Iād be happy to share some tips Iāve picked up from caring for mine!

I would actually be interested in the care for it! Iām also looking to propagate and sell if you have information on that as well!

Hereās a few things Iāve learned from caring for mine. 1. They need really well-draining soil. Theyāre epiphytic plants, and have succulent-like leaves, so I use Espomaās cactus and succulent mix for mine. Iād avoid anything Miracle Grow brand in soil for this one, even their cactus mix, cause it just isnāt well-draining enough for this one, especially if you live in a more humid climate. 2. I use a barbecue/bamboo skewer to stick into the soil and test if the soil is dry enough to water yet. Mine liked to almost completely dry out, and other peperomias in the obtusifolia and clusiifolia group like completely drying out, like succulents. 3. The most common problems Iāve noticed folks to come across with this plant is edema and overwatering. Bottom-watering helps with preventing overwatering the plant, and to prevent it getting edema, keep it away from spots with drafty windows, frequently opening doors, or indoor air vents. Changes in temperature and humidity cause edema for this plant, so keeping it somewhere consistent in both will help it thrive. 4. As for propagating, Iāve would water propagations with this one donāt work as well for me, but dipping the calloused end of a leaf cutting (make sure you cut it down enough that it has a stem) with Bonideās rooting powder, then sticking it into soil, watering it when the soil dries out, really helps with propagating cuttings in soil. 5. Though peperomias are known as low-light tolerant plants, Iāve gradually exposed mine to bright south-facing windowsills, and they love those spots. Peperomias in the caperata group with thinner leaves do better in lower light, but if you want to see it grow faster, placing it in a west/east-facing window or south window will definitely help this plant. Thatās about it! Theyāre pretty low maintenance plants once theyāre in a spot they like and in a well-draining soil. Good luck with yours! The variegation is really pretty on it š

Last tip! Like succulents, these do well in a smaller pot, and enjoy getting a little root-bound. I donāt put mine in anything more than 1-2 inches larger than the diameter of the root ball, so donāt be scared to downsize the pot if you find the pot is a lot bigger than the root ball. If itās in a pot thatās much larger than the root ball, that could quickly lead to overwatering and root rot, since itāll be sitting in more water and moist soil than it needs. Iāve found peperomias like living in apartments, not mansions š
