Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light brings out the best color contrast and texture. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves and dull the red tones.
Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root issues. Water less frequently in cooler months when growth slows.
Soil: A well-draining potting mix keeps roots healthy. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Normal household humidity is usually sufficient; slightly higher humidity can enhance leaf vibrancy.
Pet Safety
Peperomia ‘Ripple Red’ is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. While it is pet safe, keeping the plant out of reach is still recommended to prevent chewing or accidental ingestion that could cause mild digestive upset.
