Peperomia Rotundifolia
Peperomia rotundifolia · Piperaceae
How it looks
Peperomia rotundifolia is a small trailing plant whose very small round, fleshy leaves crowd densely along slender stems and trail sideways. The leaves are dark green and glossy. Grown as a hanging plant, it reaches 12–20 in (30–50 cm) long.
This plant is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
