@ExactSpangletop agree with Donna just a little reading and this is what I came up with :
Peperomia 'Basil' is not a common variety, but based on the general light requirements for Peperomia species, it thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Direct, intense sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can cause stunted, leggy growth.
Ideal light conditions
To keep your peperomia healthy and vibrant, follow these guidelines:
Bright, indirect light: An east-facing window is an ideal location, as it provides gentle morning sun. A few feet away from a south or west-facing window is also suitable, but the light should be filtered through a sheer curtain.
Artificial light: If natural light is limited, peperomia can thrive under fluorescent grow lights for 8 to 12 hours a day.
Low light tolerance: While these plants can tolerate low light for short periods, their growth will slow and their foliage may lose its vibrancy.
Signs of improper lighting
Pay attention to the plant's leaves for clues about its light exposure hope that helps

The white parts of leaves have no chlorophyll so cannot photosynthesize; they usually don’t make it forever.
Your plant looks otherwise healthy and happy. 😀
Some people try distilled water only; some try adding silica to water to strengthen capillary walls; some say silica will kill everything ..
I say enjoy your beautiful plant 🪴😍
