Peperomia caperata ‘Rosso’ - Ripple Leaf Peperomia

Peperomia caperata ‘Rosso’ is a compact foliage plant with deeply rippled, lance-shaped leaves in rich green, finished with dramatic burgundy-red undersides. The leaves grow in a tidy rosette, giving the plant a sculptural, almost architectural look despite its small size. Subtle flower spikes may appear throughout the year, but this variety is grown primarily for its bold texture and colour contrast.

Easy to live with and naturally compact, ‘Rosso’ is a popular choice for shelves, desks, and grouped plant displays.

Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light, too much sun, and you risk scorching the leaves. This plant can also tolerate lower light conditions. 

Watering: This plant doesn't need much water, so give it a good soak when the top inch of the soil is dry. A good rule is about every 1-2 weeks (depending on location). 

Temperature: 18-24°C is ideal. Peperomia hate being cold so avoid drafts. 

Potting: A well-draining potting mix is suitable for these. Our A Sandy Loam is an excellent choice for this plant.

Hot tips: Peperomia are easy-to-propagate plants! Great if you want to fill your house with these beauties.
