The Raindrop Peperomia, scientifically known as peperomia polybotrya, is an easy-to-care-for, charming houseplant known for its fat, thick, shiny leaves that look like a raindrop rolling down your window. This plant is also know as coin plant or coin-leaf peperomia and is commonly mistaken for the popular Chinese Money Plant (pilea peperomia).

Native to South America’s tropical regions, this plant grows on the jungle floor and therefore likes similar house conditions: bright filtered light, and moderate temperatures with high humidity. Since they already store water in their leaves, it is easy to overwater these so err on the side of under watering when in doubt. These plants only get about 12-15 inches tall but they can reward you with dainty, fragrant blooms.
