Peperomia Piccolo Banda wears pinstripes: oval leaves in deep green pulled tight with silvery-white bands, quilted along every vein, on reddish stems. It looks tailored, like it is dressed better than the rest of the shelf.
Piccolo Banda stays compact and tidy, which makes it a desk and terrarium plant as much as a shelf plant. Like most peperomias it is unfussy, forgiving, and completely safe around pets - an easy way to add pattern without adding a diva.
