Do Peperomia plants have flowers?

And while they are unique, the flowers of peperomias are far from showy. In a home setting, blooming can be a rare occurrence. The blooms are long, narrow stalks often in a green or brown color that don't resemble flowers.

After the blooming, eliminate floral scapes from the peperomia, cutting them as short as you can. Only eliminate leaves if they've withered, dried up or turned yellow.
