Peperomia caperata, also known as the emerald ripple peperomia, is a flowering plant that is native to Brazil. It belongs to the Piperaceae family and is an evergreen perennial that can grow up to 20 cm tall and wide. It is characterized by its corrugated heart-shaped leaves and white flowers that bloom in the summer. Due to its minimum temperature requirement of 15°C, P. caperata is typically grown indoors in most temperate regions. It is a popular houseplant and has many cultivars, with 'Luna Red' being one of the most well-known and even receiving the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
