The Peperomia tetragona, also called the Parallel Peperomia, is a charming, compact houseplant prized for its distinctive striped foliage. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves are deep green with striking light green veins, creating a crisp, geometric pattern that looks almost painted on. Upright yet bushy in form, it makes a perfect accent for desks, shelves, or windowsills.
This easy-care plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light conditions. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as it prefers moderate watering and good drainage. Pet-friendly and non-toxic, it’s a safe choice for homes with cats and dogs.
