FAQs
FAQs
Is Peperomia Rubra pet-safe?
Yes, it's generally considered non-toxic and pet-safe.
Why is my Peperomia Rubra wilting even though I water it?
This is usually a sign the roots aren't getting enough oxygen rather than not enough water - check that the soil mix drains well and isn't compacted.
How much light does it need?
Medium to low light that avoids direct sun works well; it can also grow under fluorescent lighting.
How often should I repot it?
In spring, and only when needed - keep the pot on the smaller side since it prefers to stay slightly snug.
What gives the leaves their red tint?
The undersides of the leaves and the stems naturally develop a reddish tint, which is a defining trait of this Peperomia variety.
