Peperomia obtusifolia 'Red Margin'
Peperomia obtusifolia 'Red Margin'
Peperomia 'Red Margins' is a voluptuous houseplant celebrated for its thick, elongated oval-shaped leaves accented with a subtle tint of red along the edges—reminiscent of a swipe of red lipstick. Its succulent-like nature allows it to store water within its leaves, making it extremely low-maintenance and requiring watering only when the soil is nearly dry.
Thriving in moderate light or under grow lights, 'Red Margins' is an ideal deskmate and a perfect choice for beginners. Its striking foliage and self-sufficient watering needs make it a versatile addition to any indoor setting, whether on a desk, windowsill, or as part of a larger plant collection.
Peperomia Basic Care: Easy
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out almost entirely—up to 5 inches deep—between watering. A watering schedule similar to that of succulents and cacti works well.
- Light: It prefers medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause leaf burn.
- Soil/Drainage: Well-draining soil mixes designed for cacti and succulents are ideal, though they can tolerate a standard houseplant mix if they are careful not to overwater.
- Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in average room temperature and humidity.
