One of the variegated peperomia.

Yes, probably P. obtusifolia, but there are other similar species, and cultivars of various species. If you have a spot with more light, it may grow a little faster, though it's not a fast growing type of plant. Your Peperomia looks pretty peppy to me. House plant growth is usually measured by seasons, or even years, not months.

Here is a link that might be useful: Peperomia selection from EA

Hi, & yes, I think that ID is right.

Also agree this isn't a fast growing plant & that actually, it looks excellent, we can see that by how the leaves look & how firm they appear.

I'd keep doing the same as you are, but in future, when you repot, I'd add about 30% perlite to that mix to make it faster draining (that mix looks quite peaty from here).

While I don't see this in the EA listings (Exotic Angels), that ID is definitely correct for Pep., very nice one too, enjoy.

I think your pep is as cute as a button. I'm just posting some of my peps mixed in with lipstick, philos etc. All of these are from this season. They're in no more than 5 inch pots, some smaller than that with potting soil mixed with perlite.

That's a nice one. It'll get to growing when it sets roots since the repot. They actually can take off pretty quickly, and become tall and fall over if not pinched back or trimmed now and again. They are also pretty tough, but can succumb to overwatering, so make sure to let it dry up a bit between waterings. I agree with the statement about the soil being doctored for extra drainage, as peperomias appreciate a well drained soil.

Thank you everyone! I feel much better about my little guy and will make sure to be patient and not overwater.
