The Peperomia polybotrya [pep-er-ROH-mee-uh] [pol-ly-BOT-ree-uh] is a compact peperomia speciesplant well suited for life as an easy to care for house plant.

The plant features heart-shaped, succulent foliage and typically only achieves a maximum height of one foot.

Like many botanical names, the name of this plant is taken from the Greek language. Peperomia means “resembling pepper,” while Polybotrya means “many.”

Peperomia plants are part of the Piperaceae family, also known as the pepper family.

The plant also goes by the common name:

• Coin-leaf peperomia
• Peperomia raindrop
• Raindrop peperomia
• Coin plant
• Chinese Money Plant

It is native to tropical regions of South America, including parts of Colombia and Peru.

Some call the plant the “Chinese Money Plant” [Pilea peperomioides] assuming they are the same. They do have similar leaf shapes.

Caring for the coin-leaf peperomia is not hard, but you may want to review a few basic plant care tips.
