Peperomia belongs to the Piperaceae family, akin to the pepper plant. It includes many beautiful species. But, one species, Peperomia Maculosa, resembles its piquant cousin. Its leaves are dark and glossy. They have prominent veins. They make it a striking addition to any indoor garden. It’s not a feast for the eyes. Peperomia Maculosa also emits a spicy scent like ginger. This has earned it nicknames like Cilantro Peperomia or Dwarf Pepper. It’s also interesting that you can eat it and use it as a culinary herb.
