Deep green leaves trimmed with a flush of red along the edges, like the plant has caught a little of the sunset. The Red Edge is a compact, easy-going Peperomia that sits beautifully on a desk, shelf, or windowsill without ever demanding too much. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in character. A small plant that quietly earns its place.
CARE GUIDE
+ POSITION / LIGHT: Bright indirect light keeps the red colouring vivid. Lower light dulls the contrast and may cause the red edges to fade over time.
+ WATERING: Allow the top 2–3cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Like all Peperomias, it stores moisture in its leaves and prefers to dry out a little between drinks.
+ TEMPERATURE: Comfortable between 18–26°C. Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
+ FERTILISER: Feed once a month through spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser. No feeding needed over winter.
+ GROWTH RATE: Slow to moderate. Stays compact and tidy, making it ideal for smaller spaces.
+ PET FRIENDLY: Yes, non-toxic to cats and dogs. 🐾
FAQ'S
1. The red edges on my plant are fading. What's happening? Not enough light. Move it to a brighter spot with good indirect light and new growth should come through with stronger colour.
2. The leaves feel soft and a little limp. Should I be worried? Soft leaves on a Peperomia usually means overwatering. Let the soil dry out more between waterings and avoid letting the pot sit in water.
3. Can I propagate it? Yes. Leaf cuttings placed in moist soil or water will root reliably. Keep them warm and in bright indirect light while they establish.
