Peperomia polybotrya, commonly known as raindrop peperomia or raindrop plant, is a species of perennial plant in the genus Peperomia of the family Piperaceae. It is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.[1]
It grows in a small tree-like form, reaching 30 to 40 cm tall, with petioles forming "branches" ending in large succulent and glossy teardrop-shaped peltate leaves (petiole attached in the center). It is considered easy to grow as a houseplant.[2] The flowers appear as greenish white slender spikes.[3]
