Origin
The Peperomia caperata 'Mendoza' is a type of plant that originally comes from South America. More specifically, it grows in the Amazon region of Brazil, where it has survived all weather conditions. What's unique about this specific species is that it is not endemic, which means that it can survive in more areas than just its original habitat.

Characteristics
The Peperomia caperata 'Mendoza' is a compact, carpet-like houseplant. It has heart-shaped, deep green leaves that are often waved or wrinkled, creating a unique texture. The plant also produces small, unnoticeable flowers that protrude on thin stems above the foliage. It does not grow very tall; usually it remains below 30 centimetres.

Care
The care of the Peperomia caperata 'Mendoza' requires some attention. The plant thrives best in indirect light and has a preference for a humid environment. It needs to be watered regularly, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause root rot. Despite the plant not being demanding in terms of soil, it will grow best in well-draining soil.
