This compact charmer is admired for its deeply corrugated, heart-shaped leaves in rich shades of burgundy to wine-red. The rippling leaf texture gives it an elegant, almost velvet-like appearance, making ‘Ripple Red’ a standout among peperomias. Its small size and dramatic color make it perfect for desks, windowsills, or as an accent in mixed plant displays.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can adapt to medium light, though colors may deepen in stronger filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch leaves.
💧 Water – Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Its semi-succulent leaves store some water, so underwatering is safer than overwatering. Needs well-draining soil.
🌡️ Humidity – Prefers moderate humidity but tolerates average household levels. Ideal temps: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from cold drafts.
🌱 Growth – Compact and clumping habit, typically 6–8 inches tall and wide. Slow grower, requiring minimal pruning or repotting.

📊 Difficulty: Easy (low-maintenance and great for small spaces).

🐾 Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
For the richest red tones, keep in bright filtered light and avoid overwatering. Pair with green or variegated houseplants to make its jewel-like color pop even more.
