I Heart This Plant

This emerald corrugated heart-shaped foliage can make you check twice. How much more if it blooms. I heart this plant because it shows the real beauty under the sun. It is called 'peperomia caperata.' Unfortunately, it is not mine. Would you like to have this rippled peperomia caperata?

That is very pretty. If I had the room for more plants indoors, I'd like having something that looks like that.

I am sure you will like it at your house. Personally, I prefer a bonsai one on my working table.

It's not mine. It is a plant that I gave to my younger brother.

It is a lovely plant. Indoor plants and cats don't always mix very well, and our little boy is a dedicated climber. I'm not certain that there would be any place that I could put a plant and he not be able to figure out a way to launch himself onto it. When he calms down, though, maybe a few plants will find there way into our home.

@Shavkat Even my very mellow late boy was a nibbler. He was so well behaved, but he could not resist the siren song of green plants. Our boy now is a pouncer, chewer, and galloper. I'm fairly certain that no mere houseplant could withstand his current level of energy.

I am sure the indoor plants will be scratched or bitten by your son there.

The lost cat of mine never dared to do these things.

I haven't seen the real blooms of this plant. Pink blooms are good to look at.

I'm not sure. I like plants, I just don't enjoy the bugs that come with them.

@Shavkat Florida has a lot of them. So it's understandable we don't want them around. Indoor or outdoor. Indoors we have to worry about the cats thinking it's food.

It is not cool to have some bugs coming inside the house because of indoor plants.

@kaylachan I am not sure how the spidey came into my room last night. I assumed it was attracted by the indoor plants.

I was startled while teaching and mylotting online last night. The root cause was the 'huntsman spider.' It jumped at the side of my computer's CPU and I also...

It's beautiful but is that not one of the toxic plants? There are many 'pretty' plants that are not good for animals and sometimes even humans too. I guess, I will have to research?

I think it is not a poisonous one. Share something if you find some facts. Thank you in advance.

It is a beautiful plant but I would only want it if it is not toxic to my pets.
