Trying to post pics of Peperomias.
First one might be Peperomia caperata?

This one just says Peperomia sp.
Does anyone know which one it is?

This one is a puzzle for me as I don't know if it is a Spoon leaf Peperomia or is it Spoon Leaf Pothos? or could be something else?

The last one is a pepperomia if it has round stiff leaves.

Looks like Baby Rubber Plant (Peperomia obtusifolia 'Variegata') to me.

Thank you for the identification.

What makes it obtusiifolia?

I thought perhaps it might be Peperomia magnoliifolia?

I'm not familiar with Spoonleaf Peperomia (Peperomia magnoliifolia 'Variegata') and your plant may very well be that one!

There are photos on this page for comparison: http://succulent-plant.com/fam...

Aren't those the cutest things?! You're a total addict now, Caroline! TY for sharing them.

Obtusifolia = blunt leaf.
Magnolifolia = magnolia-like leaf.
This page translates many of the Latin names to what they mean in English, with some pics.

If they came from Exotic Angel/Costa Farms, you should be able to sort them from their line-up:

Thanks for the links.
I am leaning towards the magnoliifolia but will keep looking.

I wonder if this one could be Peperomia meridana
http://www.glasshouseworks.com...
https://houseplantz.net/pepero...

or this one Peperomia (Peperomia caperata 'Little Fantasy')

I think I see a tiny bit of variegation on some of those leaves; I wonder if this one might be Variegated Teardrop Peperomia (Peperomia 'Orba Variegata')

Knowing where they came from (the grower name) usually narrows it down well.

Om shanti om.

I used to have the most beautiful deep blackish-red Peperomia with crimpled leaves but it got accidentally watered with 500% more Miracle Grow than it needed (thanks, plant sitter) and it died a violent death. I haven't yet found another one like it.

I love looking at the pictures here!

Keep going!

Thank you for the identification of these.
And thank you for the suggested links.
I will come back to this often.

These were Home Depot purchases, and at first I thought they were all labelled wrong as all the plants said Peperomia!

But I have come to appreciate the variety of plants which comprise Peperomia.

Various Pep cuttings in mini garden, and a sprig of Alternanthera, bottom right.

Variegated Teardrop Peperomia (Peperomia 'Orba Variegata')
Prayer Peperomia (Peperomia dolabriformis)
Red Log (Peperomia verticillata)
