    Coin Leaf Peperomia has thick, waxy dark green coin shaped leaves. This plant prefers a warm and bright location but no direct sunlight which will scorch and fade the foliage. A well draining potting medium is required and you should let the plant dry slightly between watering as too much water will cause stem and root rot.

    I lost my plant to severe cold last winter.
