50 Houseplants That Are Healthy to Keep at Home

19. Peperomia, a semi-succulent, is an easy-to-care-for plant.

Much like the Philodendron family, the Peperomia family contains an incredibly diverse multitude of houseplants that range from large vines with elongated leaves to compact, bushy plants with perfectly round leaves. As semi-succulents, Peperomia is easy to care for, requiring only moderate light for most species and infrequent watering. While some small-leaf varieties aren’t as potent in oxygen production, larger specimens and broad leaves are great oxygen producers. The common Peperomia obtusifolia has large, incredibly glossy round leaves ranging from dark green to variegated white and stunning green leaves.
