A member of the Piperaceae family, this compact plant has short stems covered by heart-shaped, deeply ridged leaves. The leaves are green, sometimes with a blush of red, and dark green veins. If your P. caperata doesn't look like this one, there's good reason. Newer cultivars give this popular houseplant a whole new look. Some of the varieties are listed below.
In summer through early fall, you may see slender flower spikes that look like rat's tails. They rise tall above the mound of foliage, growing from the base of the plant with reddish-purple stems. Whether you like the "flowers" or not...they are one of the hallmarks of Peperomia caperata.
