Peperomia ‘Rosso’ is a compact, easy-care houseplant loved for its glossy deep green leaves and dramatic rich red undersides. Its tidy rosette shape makes it perfect for shelves, desks and small spaces, adding colour and texture without taking up much room.
Part of the Piperaceae (pepper) family, Peperomia are native to tropical regions of Central and South America. They thrive in warm indoor environments and are often known as Radiator Plants. This variety is also non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for homes with curious cats or dogs.
Care Tips:
• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal, though it can tolerate medium light.
• Water: Allow the top half of the soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
• Temperature: Prefers warm rooms and typical indoor conditions.
• Feed: Use a houseplant fertiliser monthly in spring and summer.
