Isn't she lovely? Fresh leaves everywhere. She is growing so fast. She and this tiny echinopsis are the best friends. She's a very happy plant. #freshleaffriday #newgrowth #peperomia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #greggang #greggers #echinopsis

I should've called her "Surprise". It's the first day of Autumn, and she is still blooming. She's been blooming for 5 months already. #peperomia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #greggang

Leaf abundance on #Peperomia marmorata "Marmot". I moved the leaves a bit so you can see the bottom one: the green one, blocked by the other leaves from the Sun light. #greggang #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #happyplants

Many people don't like #peperomia flowers and cut them off. I think these flowers look awesome. My Peperomia stopped growing to make these flowers. There are now 5 of them. I'll definitely let the flowers stay. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newgrowth #greggang

I bought this Peperomia plant Marmot 2 months ago in a supermarket. It was the last #peperomia there, a reject. It was craving Sun, and slowly dying. I enjoy taking care of it. I like it's vibrant colour and compact shape. Today I discovered it's 5 th flower. What a happy day ☺️🌿💚 #beforeandafter #plantsmakepeoplehappy
