Identifying a Succulent with Long Flower Spikes

Likely a Peperomia Species

Your plant with succulent, oval leaves (2–3 inches, dark green with purplish edges) and 5–6 inch narrow spikes is likely in the Peperomia family. The spikes are probably immature flower stalks; flowers may take a month to develop and often fail to open in insufficient light.

Next Steps

For positive identification, email clear photos to plantlady6@yahoo.com or post them on the site. In the meantime, provide bright light and water only when soil is bone dry. Avoid overwatering—this plant stores water in its leaves.
