**Scientific Name** Peperomia caperata (wrinkled pepper-like plant) **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, is a striking variety of peperomia with luscious green on top of its leaves and bright red underneath. 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. *
