Peperomia rotundifolia

The true *Peperomia rotundifolia* is a creeping and shingling species with small, round green leaves that press closely to surfaces in its juvenile form before trailing outward as it matures. Native to tropical Central and South America, it naturally climbs or spreads, forming dense mats of foliage. This species is often confused with another plant that is incorrectly sold under the same name (Peperomia hope) but this is the botanically correct *P. rotundifolia*. Its compact growth and small, rounded leaves make it especially well suited for terrariums, grow cabinets, or mounted culture.
