Tiny, green flowers are borne on spike inflorescences that resemble rat tails.
Environment
Keep in indirect sunlight. Any window besides South facing ones should work well. Cupid Peperomia is known to grow very well under artificial lighting, which means it s a great option for darker rooms.
It needs plenty of air around the roots, hence a relatively loose soil with good drainage would be ideal.

Note
One unique aspect of Peperomia is that all their foliage purifies the air, according to NASA research.
