Hello!

I bought this unlabeled plant at a Trader Joe’s and have no idea what it is.

It’s getting quite big and I suspect may be outgrowing its pot but I have no plant experience and was hoping I could look up more specific care instructions once I know what type of plant I’m dealing with.

Any information and advice you can give me is extremely appreciated! Thank you!

What we have here…

What we have here is a lovely example of a healthy little Peperomia. Those spikes you see are the flowers.

More about it here for care; https://smart-plants.com/peperomia.html

You may need to do more research if you want to know exactly which species it is, but they all require similar care – great choice for starting out, as they’re very forgiving, and don’t mind sporadic watering, or lower light levels.
