Peperomia Santorini
Peperomia Santorini stands out for its round, rippled leaves that show a silvery grey-green on top and a deep burgundy red underneath. It is a hybrid of Peperomia caperata, tracing back to plants originally found in the Brazilian rainforest. The leaves naturally point upward as the plant matures, which shows off that red underside a little more with each new leaf. It stays compact and works well on a desk, shelf, or windowsill.

All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
Peperomia Santorini is a Peperomia caperata cultivar, part of a group of peperomias that trace back to the rainforests of Brazil. Breeders selected this variety for its two-tone leaf coloring and its deeply rippled texture, both classic caperata traits, giving it a calmer, more muted look than some of the brighter caperata cultivars.
How to Keep Your Peperomia Santorini Happy
- Light: Give it medium to bright, indirect light. Good light keeps the color on the leaves crisp and helps the plant grow more evenly.
- Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. This plant is sensitive to soggy soil, so it is better to underwater slightly than to overwater.
- Humidity: It tolerates average home humidity, though a bit of extra moisture in the air does not hurt.
- Soil: Use a well draining potting mix. Adding perlite helps keep the roots from sitting in wet soil.
- Temperature: Average to warm room temperature is best. Keep it away from cold drafts and open windows in the winter.
