A beautiful and rare Peperomia, this Amazonian plant is a real treat. It's part of the huge Peperomia family which includes over 1000 plants, but this one is unlike the others as it sports thick, round leaves. It's not a sun-lover, so keep out of direct sun but otherwise, it's a fuss-free plant. We don't often come across these, so snap one up while you can!

Find me a spot that gets no more than 4 hours of direct sun, or my leaves might dry up or get scorch marks
Wait for the top 2-5cm of my soil to dry out between waterings. This is roughly every 7 days in summer and 10 days in winter
I am easy-going. Just snip off any dry leaves and give me the occasional dusting to keep me looking my best
My textured, waxy leaf surface attracts dust, removing it from the air and keeping it away from your lungs
The bright green colour of my foliage colour triggers an evolutionary response that will help you feel vital and healthy
My texture invites direct contact through touch, which will help you build a nurturing relationship with nature

The Peperomia ‘Hope’ is a rare plant, originally from the Amazon.
Its unique leaves are thick, gently rounded and coloured a vivid green with subtle white stripes. This gently-growing plant is technically a succulent, which means it needs very little watering and is relatively easy to care for.
As the plant’s South American heritage suggests, the Peperomia prefers warm environments out of direct sunlight. The Peperomia Hope has compact stems which can be trained to weave round one another. Give it slightly more water in the warmer months than in winter, and keep its soil moist but not wet.
Spending a little time looking after your plants is a wonderful way to look after yourself, and it's known to reduce stress levels and improve emotional wellbeing. The Peperomia doesn't require too much effort, but its fleshy fronds invite direct contact and its green colouring is known to lift spirits.
The Peperomia Hope's strong and fleshy leaves are great dust trappers, keeping irritants out of the air and isolated to one place.
