Brief Description
The plant in the image appears to be a succulent with small, rounded, light green to grayish-green leaves. It has a trailing or vining growth habit, with stems gracefully spilling over the sides of the teapot planter. The leaves are somewhat flat and resemble small coins or buttons, giving it a delicate and charming appearance.
Care Instructions
This plant, likely a type of Peperomia, prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, but be careful not to overwater, as it is susceptible to root rot. Good drainage is essential, so ensure the pot has drainage holes. A well-draining succulent or aroid potting mix is ideal. It tolerates average room humidity and temperatures. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
