Peperomia 'Frost'

A remarkable houseplant native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Peperomia 'Frost' is a splendid addition to any indoor garden. Its leaves are a true spectacle, with silvery hues that shimmer and dance in the light. A closer look reveals a stunning array of intricate patterns and textures, where silvery-green leaves are veined with a delicate frost-like pattern, earning the plant its unique name. The Peperomia 'Frost' is compact in nature, reaching a modest height and width of approximately 8 to 10 inches, making it an ideal choice for desks, shelves, or window sills. Peperomia 'Frost' forms a mounded shape, with its leaves layered upon each other creating a lush, dense display of foliage. In a terrarium, it adds an element of exotic charm, and in a pot, it creates an alluring focal point with its frosted leaves spilling over the edges. While this plant does not produce a caudex like some other species, its stem thickens with age, adding an interesting dimension to its appearance. The growth rate of Peperomia 'Frost' is relatively moderate, allowing it to maintain its compact size while slowly expanding its leafy canopy. It's a great plant for beginners, as it's not particularly demanding in terms of care, and can tolerate a range of light conditions. However, it does appreciate a well-draining soil mix and regular watering, mimicking the humid environment of its natural habitat. In addition to its mesmerizing foliage, Peperomia 'Frost' adds another layer of beauty when it flowers. During the late winter or early spring, it produces delicate inflorescences, resembling slender green spikes or tails, which rise above the foliage. These fascinating flowers don't open up like traditional blooms, but their unique shape and the contrast they provide to the silvery leaves makes them a delightful spectacle. In essence, Peperomia 'Frost' is a truly enchanting houseplant that offers year-round interest. Its frosty foliage, compact growth habit, and unique flowering spikes make it a standout choice for any indoor garden. Whether you're a seasoned houseplant enthusiast or a novice looking for a forgiving and visually appealing plant, the Peperomia 'Frost' is a splendid choice.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
