It really surprized me. Just perfect white. I'm curious what an after bloom peperomia does on its own, branch or die back. I don't know that either. :-)

Greenthumb,

Peromeria species typically bloom freely. They will not die back after blooming though. Here many Peperomia species are used as ground cover.
They usually grow pretty quickly.

Thanks all!

I'm so glad to hear it doesn't die back. Must be its vigor that makes it such a popular houseplant as well.

They are very tough plants as long as they don't receive too much water during the Winter.
