Peperomia Axillaris?

I believe this guy is a Peperomia Axillaris (per his care card). But I can't find that peperomia variety in Greg's database.

I have him labeled as a Pincushion Peperomia but I don't think that's the same thing.

Anyone have any experience with this type of sudo-succulent? #succulentsquad #peperomia
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

Hey Sarah I checked and this plant is available in our database. Check for Perperomia 'Axillaris'
Perhaps one of the #gregteam can add that variety? @RJG

This plant does like bright indirect light, as per the plant card. It helps maintain the right photosynthesis to maintain the light green color. :) Otherwise, it should like well draining soil like any other succulent! Let the soil dry between watering, etc. you should do great!
@malobee thanks! He's definitely an interesting plant - sort of a succulent, but not really? And his leaves are these cute little banana-looking pods.

He likes to be kept damp (very un-succy) and he's really taken off once I got that nailed down.
@RJG - thank you so much! Updated!
@RedHeadPlants no problem!
Welcome to Greg btw!!
@RJG thank you! I love it here!
@RedHeadPlants so glad to hear it!
You have the cutest pereromia. This is the first one of this variety I have seen. 💚 Welcome to Greg.
@Pegster isn't he adorable?! I love the little plant bb's I get from #succulentstudios every month.
