The Peperomia 'Metallica' is one of the most visually striking plants in the Peperomia family. Its plump, leathery leaves are a deep greenish-black with a luminous silver streak running down the center, while the undersides reveal a rich red-wine hue that catches the light beautifully. As the trailing stems mature, they spill gracefully over the pot's edge — and in late summer to fall, delicate creamy yellow blooms emerge like tiny exclamation points on an already stunning plant.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
