    They’re the flowers! A little funky, I know. You can trim them off if you don’t care for them, but fun fact: they naturally die off and cut themselves off on their own when they’re done pollinating! So don’t be scared if one suddenly lands into the leaves one day. Congrats! 🎉

    Inflorescence! Basically the ugly little flower of a peperomia plant.

      😂 they’re kinda like little reeds. Personally not the biggest fan of them on the caperata and similar, smaller varieties of peperomia, but I think they look pretty neat on their larger obtusifolia and clusiifolia varieties. Mine’s got 5 buds in the works. So I’m very excited to see them.

      Yep! It’s often a sign of good health for a peperomia, so congrats! It’s probably thanking you for taking such good care of it, especially this late in the growth season 👏👏👏
