Plant Care With corrugated leaves in a variety of colors, from reds to greens, Peperomia San Marino are a standout houseplant. Due to their succulent-like leaves, it is important not to overwater your Peperomia, as it may cause the leaves to wilt. Keep your plant in bright indirect light, avoiding full sun. When repotting, we recommend using our All-Purpose soil.
