Peperomia trollii has is a stem-bearing, flowering plant up to 60 cm tall. It has a succulent stem up to 10âÂÂ30 cm long and 2 cm thick at the base. It is covered by the bases of the succulent petioles arranged in a spiral manner, numerous leaves forming a dense rosette of petioles 1âÂÂ2 cm long.

The surface is reduced into a narrow window, pale green, inflorescence axes up to 20 cm long much thinner than the vegetative axes. Those leaves are loosely arranged, passing into a terminal white spike up to 10 cm long, 5 mm in diameter. Below the terminal spike are the 5-7 first-order paracladia emanating from the leaf axils, which again generate paracladia of the second order. The inflorescences are very ramified. The Inflorescence have a characteristic of axes that white or pale reddish, moderately angled, 3âÂÂ5 mm diameter, with spirally arranged ivory bracts with short petiolate peltate ovate acuminate blades 3âÂÂ4 mm long. The ovary small, measuring up to 1.5 mm long, sessile, whitish, style and stigma inserted on the side of the ovary, slightly impressed. There are two anthers with a very short filament and two large spherical locules.
