About the plant:
Peperomia is a plant from the pepper family (yes, black pepper is also included). Peperomia caperata can also be found under the English name emerald ripple peperomia, in Czech translation emerald rippled pepper. The species carperata Rosso is similar to the Brasilia species, as it also has wrinkled green leaves, bright red underneath, but denser. It also reaches a slightly smaller height. We find long flowers that resemble tails.
They are most naturally found in South and Central America, but a few species can also be found in Africa. More than 1,500 species have been recorded in tropical and subtropical regions. They are epiphytes, often found growing on rotting wood. Although their shape, size and color vary, in most cases they are unpretentious shrub-like plants. Their narrow and thin flower grows in the form of a spike. It is yellow in color and looks like a wax candle. The leaves are fleshy and smooth, and can be heart-shaped or lance-shaped.
