Peperomia
Peperomia are part of a tropical plant genus, with over 1,000 different varieties. Most have thick, succulent-like leaves that store water, making them resistant to drought. The growth patterns vary from trailing to rosette-forming.
Great for the dry, warm NM climate, these houseplants don’t need a lot of maintenance as long as their roots don’t stay wet for long.
