Regular price
Peperomia Rosso brings contrast to a small space: deeply textured, glossy green leaf tops turn to rich red undersides. Set it on a bright shelf where its compact rosette-like form and two-toned foliage can be seen from several angles. Leaf count, fullness, and red intensity vary naturally.
Points of interest and size
- One live Peperomia Rosso in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. Actual shipping height and fullness vary.
- A compact tabletop plant; with suitable care it gradually fills out rather than growing into a tall vine or tree.
What you receive
One live Peperomia Rosso in its 4-inch nursery grow pot. Decorative planters and furnishings are not included.
Optional decorative planters
Style your plant with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or the white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and are not included with the plant.
Care guide
- Light: Bright indirect or filtered light helps maintain strong color. Gentle morning sun may suit an acclimated plant; protect from harsh afternoon sun.
- Water: Let the upper part of the potting mix dry between thorough waterings, then let excess drain. Check the soil rather than using a fixed schedule, and avoid leaving roots soggy.
- Soil: Use an airy, well-draining houseplant mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Add perlite as needed to keep the mix airy and well-draining.
- Humidity and temperature: Average to moderate indoor humidity is generally suitable. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove damaged leaves with clean scissors and trim leggy growth if needed to maintain a tidy form.
- Repotting: Move up one pot size in fresh draining mix when roots crowd the nursery pot; avoid an oversized container that stays wet too long.
- Propagation: Healthy stem or leaf cuttings may root in lightly moist mix under warm, bright indirect conditions; allow time for new growth.
Pet safety
Peperomia is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
