Peperomia ferreyrae

Happy bean

A small, upright succulent Peperomia from Peru with bean-pod-shaped leaves folded into a U, each with a translucent window along the top. It comes from drier mid-elevation Andean slopes, so it wants bright light, fast-draining mix and a genuine dry-out between waterings rather than a humid terrarium.
