Growing red edge peperomia

The references read are overseas: North Carolina State Extension in the United States and the RHS in Britain, both writing for a plant grown indoors. No reference read gives an Australian climate zone.

North Carolina State Extension says it prefers bright, indirect sunlight and will tolerate low light, and lists dappled light and partial shade; the RHS gives partial shade.

North Carolina State Extension recommends a moist, well-drained, loamy mix, says to avoid overwatering and cold draughts, and warns that overwatering can cause root rot and that wetting the leaves can bring leaf spots. The RHS gives loam that is moist but well drained, or well drained, acid to alkaline. North Carolina State Extension says it is slow growing and will not need repotting very often.

The RHS rates it H2, a plant that tolerates low temperatures but does not survive being frozen, with a minimum of 1 to 5 C; North Carolina State Extension gives the American hardiness zones 10 to 12. Neither is an Australian rating.

The RHS calls it generally free of pests and diseases. North Carolina State Extension still lists mealybugs, spider mites, aphids, scale, fungus gnats and whiteflies to watch for. The RHS says no pruning is required, though it can be trimmed to keep it compact. North Carolina State Extension propagates it by leaf or stem cuttings, the RHS by division or leaf cuttings.

Using red edge peperomia

Both references treat it as a houseplant. North Carolina State Extension lists it for containers, houseplants, patios and interiorscapes and as an accent, and calls it low maintenance and easy to grow; the RHS recommends it for houseplants, conservatories and greenhouses and calls it a tolerant indoor plant. North Carolina State Extension describes four cultivars, each with a coloured leaf edge: pink and cream in 'Jelly', which deepens to red as it ages; a faint red in 'Red Margin'; red and pink, with cream, in the grey-green 'Variegata'; and yellow and pink in 'Ginny'. The wider genus is set out on the peperomia page.

What to check before you buy

Growers list the species and its named forms side by side, so read the full name on the line: Jelly (or Jellie), Red Edge and Emerald are listed separately. The RHS gives baby rubber plant as another common name for this species, and the ASPCA uses the same name for Peperomia obtusifolia, which has its own page as baby rubber plant; check the botanical name on a quote. The table above shows the sizes growers list. What to look for in the pot, the roots and for pests is in the guide to nursery plant quality. Stock crossing a state border moves under the state and territory biosecurity rules on moving plants and soil.
