Find Your Ask the Expert: Please Help Me Identify this Plant
I’ve put several arrangements together using this unique plant. It was a gift to me awhile back and I propagated it to continue to enjoy its beauty. I’m hoping you’ll be able to provide the name of this plant. Thanks! Candy

I believe what you have is a Peperomia rotundifolia. I can’t tell from the picture if the leaves have any fine hairs. Peperomia rotundifolia (Yerba linda) is often covered with minute, fine hairs.
As you already know it propagates rather easily. At some point it will produce short spikes of yellish white flowers.
Could this plant still be Peperomia rotundifolia without the fine hairs?
It could. Or, it could be another type of Perperomia.
