Peperomia metallica ‘Crème Brûlée’ – Subtle Shine, Striking Style ✨🌿

Peperomia metallica ‘Crème Brûlée’ is a compact, slow-growing variety known for its shimmering dark leaves with a creamy, pale golden stripe running down the centre – like the caramel glaze on its dessert namesake. With a naturally bushy habit and easy-care nature, it’s a perfect foliage plant for desktops, shelves, and terrariums.

Key Features:

✔ Metallic, dark burgundy-green foliage with golden cream variegation

✔ Petite, upright growth habit – great for small pots and mixed plantings

✔ Rare and highly decorative collector’s plant

✔ Excellent for indirect light locations and lower-humidity spaces

✔ Pet-safe and perfect for indoor plant lovers

Care Instructions:

Light: Enjoys bright, indirect light – avoid harsh sun which can fade its markings

Watering: Water when the top layer of soil is dry – don’t let it stay soggy

Humidity: Tolerates typical home humidity but appreciates occasional misting

Soil: Use a well-draining indoor plant mix with added perlite

Feeding: Lightly feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a diluted houseplant fertiliser

Temperature: Thrives in 18–25°C – avoid cold windowsills in winter

Growth: Compact and slow-growing – max height around 15–20cm

🌿 Tip: Rotate every couple of weeks to keep growth even, and wipe the leaves gently to keep their metallic finish shining.
