Is your peperomia obtusifolia the dark green, or variegated?


dark green

==============
Here are what the plants look like when they're mature. I'm trimming plants and keeping the tops, so the Kalanchoe and Peperomia I'm giving away are rooted bottoms. They're tall so you can still cut them to pieces for denser growth in pots.

*African violets - the ones I'm giving away
I propagated several May 2018 to give away this year. They're not fully mature/big yet because I grew them crowded in two plastic containers (space constraints). They grow very fast. The one you see on the far right (in pot) is the same age as most of those in the rec containers on the left. Growing by its lonesome in a pot, that 1-YO is currently blooming.

My Peace Lily and African Violet are such strong ladies! I found and bought them one cold winter night at Jewel Osco in 2014. They survived a fairly long wait at the bus stop. Peace Lily even went through a drought (left my plants in someone's care. When I got back, all but a few leaves of the Peace lily remained). It took more than a year for Peace Lily to regain her dense foliage. I have dense growth in two pots that I have to declutter.
WISH LIST: anything mini/miniature/small that can be grown indoors ☀ bromeliad, small ☀ fern, small
