Peperomia Caperata Rosso

Peperomia Caperata Rosso

Many of the Peperomia plants have been in our houses since forever, but Rosso is a newer introduction.

He’s pretty unique with ruffled green foliage that has a bright rouged underside. Small cream-white flowers can appear if you treat him well. Rosso is going to fit right in on your bookshelf or coffee table with his glowing red leaves. He looks great everywhere but particularly suits a warm theme. 

Pilea houseplants are one of the easiest to care for. They enjoy living indoors but can manage outside as an understory plant too if it’s warm. Rosso stays small for a long time so he won’t outgrow the space.

The biggest killer of houseplants is over-watering so you’ll need to leave Rosso until he’s dry. Stick your finger in the potting mix and if it’s moist, leave him alone. If it’s dry down to a few centimetres then a drink is in order. Make sure you tip the left-over water from the pot so he doesn’t rot.
