Peperomia angulata, commonly known as Beetle Peperomia, is a compact and attractive tropical plant prized for its textured, deep green leaves with subtle ridges or grooves that resemble a beetle’s shell. Its small size and upright, bushy growth make it ideal for tabletops, shelves, or terrariums, adding a touch of tropical greenery to any indoor space.
Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate moderate light but avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Peperomias are sensitive to root rot.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.
Temperature: 65–80°F; protect from cold drafts.
Soil: Well-draining, light potting mix suitable for succulents or tropical plants.
