Red Edge Peperomia

The Red Edge Peperomia's key identifying features are the thick, glossy, slightly cupped green leaves and the distinct, fine reddish-purple margin along the edges. The thick, reddish stems are also characteristic of this variety. It's a striking and popular houseplant due to this beautiful coloration. This plant is relatively easy to care for and is considered a semi-succulent.

Red Edge Peperomia

Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jelly'

Toxic:

Non-toxic: A great feature of the Peperomia genus is that its plants are non-toxic and considered safe for pets.

Care:

Light:

It thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the red edges to fade. An east-facing window is often a perfect spot.

Water:

Allow the top 1-2 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Its succulent-like leaves store water, making it susceptible to root rot if it's overwatered. It's better to underwater than to overwater this plant.

Humidity:

It appreciates average to high household humidity but is generally adaptable.

Soil:

A chunky, well-draining potting mix is essential. A mix designed for succulents or a standard potting mix amended with perlite or orchid bark works well.
