One of my other little weirdos :) This is the first of its genus I've ever raised and it is sooooo cool!!
This is a peperomia asperula. Peperomia are usually tropical houseplants with large leafy foliage (not huge leaves, but strings of turtles belong to this genus too :3c). P. asperula are one of the few succulent varieties and they are SOOOOO cool to tend!!
They are very expressive plants that will close their chubby leaves as they deplete their stored water. After a nice watering, the leaves will open back up to fully utilize their translucent windows that help direct as much light as possible deep into the leaf itself. They're an incredible plant with such an awesome adaptation :)
