Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate low light conditions but avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.
Water Requirements: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Avoid overwatering.
Soil Preference: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite or sand for aeration.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce frequency in fall and winter.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12 when grown outdoors.
Pet Safety: Generally considered non-toxic to pets.
Additional Care Tips: Peperomia caperata 'Rosso Green' appreciates high humidity. Avoid placing near drafts or heating vents. Remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth. Repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more room for growth.
