Peperomia 'Red Edge' - Red Rover: Vibrant, Low-Maintenance Perennial Houseplant

Meet Red Rover, the quirky, jade-green perennial that's ready to be your new best (plant) friend. With chubby stems and thick, circular leaves edged in radiant red, this Peperomia is native to the tropical realms of Central and South America but thrives perfectly in your urban jungle. And the best part? Red Rover has ultra-low-maintenance vibes that are perfect even for those who can't tell a cactus from a fern. Whether it’s chilling on your desk or sprucing up your shelf, this little buddy brings a splash of color and charm wherever it goes.

Benefits:

• Low Maintenance: Super easy to care for, perfect for plant newbies.
• Water Retentive: Thick leaves store water, reducing your watering worries.
• Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to pets, so your furry friends are safe.
• Versatile Decor: Ideal for brightening up desks, shelves, or windowsills.

Care Instructions:

Red Rover loves basking in bright, indirect light but is also cool in low light—talk about easygoing! Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry; overwatering is its kryptonite. No need for fancy fertilizers—just feed it once a month with a general houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer. And remember, a little misting now and then keeps those vibrant leaves happy.
