The succulent that doesn't know it
An epiphyte of South American forests, the Peperomia Obtusifolia stores water in its fleshy leaves, giving it the resilience of a succulent and the look of tropical foliage.
It stays compact its whole life, rarely exceeding thirty centimeters, making it ideal for a desk or a narrow shelf.
"Small in size, generous in longevity."
