Peperomia Rosso

**Peperomia Rosso** (also known as *Peperomia caperata* 'Rosso') is a compact, low-maintenance houseplant prized for its striking, dark green, deeply ridged leaves with a reddish underside. It is perfect for small indoor spaces and is known for its ability to tolerate low-light conditions.

### Care Guide for Peperomia Rosso:

1. **Light**: 
   - Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. **Watering**: 
   - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Peperomias are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot has good drainage, and be careful not to leave the plant sitting in water.
   - During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant will need less moisture.

3. **Humidity**: 
   - Peperomia Rosso enjoys average room humidity but can benefit from occasional misting in drier environments.

4. **Temperature**: 
   - Ideal temperatures range between 65°F-80°F (18°C-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

5. **Soil**: 
   - Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, or mix regular potting soil with perlite.

6. **Fertilization**: 
   - Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer. No fertilization is needed in the winter.

7. **Repotting**: 
   - Peperomia Rosso is slow-growing and doesn’t require frequent repotting. Repot it every 2-3 years in spring if needed, using a container slightly larger than the current one.

8. **Pruning**: 
   - Prune occasionally to remove any dead or damaged leaves and maintain a compact shape.

9. **Propagation**: 
   - Propagate Peperomia Rosso through leaf or stem cuttings in water or soil. It’s a simple and rewarding way to expand your collection.

Peperomia Rosso is perfect for plant lovers seeking a unique and easy-to-care-for indoor plant with attractive foliage.
