Peperomia polybotrya 'Raindrop'
A low-maintenance, delightful houseplant admired for its thick, glossy, raindrop-shaped leaves—reminiscent of water droplets rolling down a window. These uniquely shaped leaves not only add charm but also serve as natural water reservoirs, giving the plant its plump appearance. Also known as the Coin Plant or Coin-Leaf Peperomia, it is often mistaken for the popular Chinese Money Plant (Pilea peperomioides).
Native to the tropical regions of South America, this plant thrives in conditions similar to its jungle-floor habitat—bright, filtered light, moderate temperatures, and high humidity. Due to its water-storing leaves, it is prone to overwatering, so it's best to let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Its leaf size, shade of green, and overall growth can vary depending on its environment, so each plant may have a unique look. Typically reaching a height of 12–15 inches, it may also surprise you with delicate, fragrant blooms under the right conditions.
SOIL: Since this plant stores water well it is best to use a fast draining soil mixture. African Violet soil is a great option, which you can easily find at stores even though I know that sounds really specific. If you want to make your own mix, use 50% perlite and 50% peat moss.
TEMPERATURE: The ideal temperature for this plant is 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit which is pretty easy considering most houses stay in that range. She will put up with higher temperatures in summer but if that is the case then keep her in more shaded conditions. Avoid drafty windows and AC units.
