Peperomia Rosso

🔥🌹 Peperomia caperata ‘Rosso’ (pep-er-ROH-mee-ah ROS-so) 🌹🔥

Also known as: Emerald Ripple Red, Rosso Peperomia

This compact cutie is a true gem for shelves and desktops, prized for its deep green, textured leaves with striking burgundy-red undersides. The leaves form a dense, mounding rosette, and the contrast between glossy green tops and ruby undersides makes ‘Rosso’ one of the most eye-catching peperomias around.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Prefers bright, indirect light. Can adapt to medium light but avoid direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.
💧 Water – Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Sensitive to overwatering due to its succulent-like leaves; err on the drier side.
🌡️ Humidity – Does well in average household humidity but appreciates moderate levels (40–50%+). Keep temps between 60–80°F (15–27°C).
🌱 Growth – Compact, clumping habit reaching 6–8 inches tall and wide. Slow grower. Repot infrequently, as it prefers being slightly rootbound.

📊 Difficulty: Easy (low-maintenance, great for beginners).

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

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Peperomias like ‘Rosso’ thrive in smaller pots with excellent drainage. Use a chunky mix (such as orchid bark, perlite, and peat) to keep roots healthy and prevent rot.
