Zamioculas Raven

Peperomia are slow growing tropical annuals and perennials that are easy to care for under average room or conservatory conditions. They have striking foliage with red stems. The foliage is fleshy, often with variegation. The fowers are insignificant. P. obtusifolia ‘Golden Gate’ come in shades of dark green, olive green and creamy white. This attractive plant is often used in bottle gardens and in other situations where space is limited.

Peperomia Obtusifolia Golden Gate, aka Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegata ‘Golden Gate’, or Baby Rubber Plant, has light green leaves with cream gold edges. The specific epithet obtusifolia means “blunt-leaved” and this variety is very hardy, easily propagated via leaf-cuttings. Like other peperomias, the Obtusifolia is non-toxic, making it safe to keep around your furry friends.

A very elegant member of the peperomia family, peperomia Polybotrya “raindrop” is

an easy to care for plant that is native to the regions of South America, Colombia, and Peru.

The name of this plant is attributed to its deep green and waxy, almost tear-shaped leaves. This plant tends to grow upright to a maximum height of 15 inches and tends to be compact depending on the amount of sun it receives.

This plant, like other Peperomia varieties, produces inflorescence in the form of a spadix (resembling a rat tail). These flowers grow when the plant is mature as well as when the plant receives the right type of care.
