Origin
The Peperomia caperata 'Lima', also known as the Radiator Plant, has its origin in South America, particularly Brazil. This plant species hails from tropical areas, meaning it is accustomed to a warm and humid environment.

Characteristics
The Peperomia caperata 'Lima' stands out with its strikingly dark green leaves that have a crown-like shape. The leaves have a noticeable ribbed texture and a silvery-grey hue, giving the plant a unique appearance. Moreover, the plant grows compact and low, making it ideal for placement on tables or desks. An exceptional characteristic is that the flowers are not prominent; they appear as small, inconspicuous spikes above the leaf canopy.

Care
Despite its tropical origin, the Peperomia caperata 'Lima' is easy to care for. It prefers a well-drained substrate and should be watered regularly, but moderately. Overwatering should be avoided, as this can result in root rot. Although the plant can cope well with a variety of light conditions, it benefits most from bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can damage the leaves. The optimal temperature for the plant's growth is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
