Identify My Plant-Begonia or Peperomia??
I just bought this begonia, but they did not know what variety it was. I searched through google, but cannot find it. Do you know what it might be?
Hi Annelie,
The reason you couldn’t’t find the begonia variety is that your plant is a type of peperomia not a begonia at all. It was easy to tell because begonias do not produce the type of “flower” stalks shown in your picture. They produce real flowers. Your plant is a is a “Radiator” Peperomia Caperata. See the pictures below.
You can find all my care tips for a peperomia in the Popular Houseplant section of the website. The picture shown is a Watermelon Peperomia but the care is the same.
