**Scientific Name** Peperomia caperata (wrinkled pepper-like plant) 'Cayenne' **Common Name** Radiator Plant, Pepper Plant, Emerald Ripple Peperomia, Emerald Ripple Pepper, Green Ripple Peperomia **Origin** Native to Brazil **Description** The Peperomia caperata, or Emerald Ripple, 'Cayenne' is a striking variety of peperomia with gorgeous silver-green and silver-red leaves. The striking colours are also set off by the striped texture along each leaf, making this a popular choice for a standout houseplant. Like most peperomias, this is a semi-succulent which stores its water in its leaves; with the perfect spot and not-too-frequent watering, this plant will flourish and give you eye-catching leaves in beautiful bright colours. **Light** Likes bright, indirect light; will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun in autumn and winter. **Water** Thoroughly water once the top third of the soil has dried out; make sure you don't leave the plant itself wet as this can cause it to rot.
