Hi! I have a houseplant that I got as a cutting, and I have no idea what kind of plant it is, or how it's supposed to look. At first I thought it should be upright so I tied it to a pencil, but as it grew it started to sag a lot and I untied it. Now it just hangs over the side of the pot and it has gotten pretty big. Most of the plant just kind of lays on my windowsill, which doesn't really seem right? My friend suggested it might be one of those hanging plants, but the whole thing grows out of one tiny stem, and is pretty heavy, so I am worried it would break or something. I don't know anything about houseplants and would really appreciate any advice!!

Hi & welcome! Whatever it is, you should be the one giving advice. It looks incredibly robust & healthy.

If it's not something on this list of "string of" plants, it should be! ; )

Looks a lot like my peperomia "Hope", but with smaller leaves than mine. So thinking it is a peperomia. Beautiful plant.

Just from googling it seems like peperomia can look very different? I have two of them myself and they have much bigger leaves, but some of the pictures i saw definitely looked like my plant! thanks!

Let me know if you or anyone here identifies it! The unusual thing about your plant is the side stems and leafs coming out from each cluster of main leafs. Love the look and is now a must have if I can find one here. Drooling Have many peperomias, and yes they can vary in looks a great deal.

The Peperomia genus has many species, and some of the species have cultivars. They can be tricky to ID, especially if it wasn't purchased @ store.

A search for "Peperomia" in the plant database on this site. Not all of them are documented with a good selection of pics yet.
https://garden.org/plants/sear...

Some specific ones to compare to yours:
Peperomia 'Hope'
Peperomia (Peperomia clusiifolia 'Isabella')
Peperomia (Peperomia japonica)
Peperomia hoffmannii

What's very odd to me is the opposite branching.

My favorite plant app doesn't have any better 'automated' id, and the only real person MAYBE suggestion there so far is the Pep. Isabella. Again, the branches Blinking Confused

@nivalark hope all is going well. Did your plant ever get a secure ID?

I keep hoping someone else who has this plant will see this and put us out of our misery. Or maybe that's too drastic and they can just tell us that name.
