🐾 Pet Warning: Peperomias are generally non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them a safe choice for households with pets.
💧 Care Level: Easy. Peperomias are known for their ease of care, making them suitable for beginners or those looking for low-maintenance houseplants.

🌞 Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Variegated varieties may require more light to maintain their patterns.
