Peperomia 'Rosso' 4"

Peperomia spp.
Also known as Baby Rubber Plant, peperomia is a genus of tropical plants with more than 1,000 known species. All have thick, fleshy leaves that contribute to drought tolerance and vigor. As a houseplant, the low, compact growing, tropical foliage plants vary with watermelon stripes, coarse, rippled foliage or rounded, rubbery leaves. 'Rosso' is an attractive sport of peperomia caperate that features rippled leaves and a burgundy color. This diverse plant family grows well in drier, indoor conditions, in mixed planters, or in small pots as a windowsill plant. Grow in medium, indirect lighting 6-8? from a sunny window, middle of a bright room, or in 12-14 hours of fluorescent lighting. Keep soil slightly dry, do not overwater. Supply extra humidity by setting on a shallow tray of moistened pebbles. Feed with a Osmocote or Miracle-Gro at half strength once a month, April to September.
