Characteristics
The Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie', also known as the 'Red Edge Peperomia', is a compact, low-growing plant that especially stands out due to the beautiful colours of its leaves. The leaves are thick, fleshy and oval in shape with a pointed tip. They vary in colour from dark green at the edges to light pink in the middle. The plant sometimes blooms with nearly invisible white flowers on red stems.

Care
Due to its tropical origin, the Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie' prefers a warm and humid environment. Although it is quite easy to care for, the 'Jellie' has certain preferences. The plant performs best under indirect sunlight and needs well-draining soil to prevent root rot. It has a moderate to high need for water, but it is important to ensure the soil doesn't stay saturated too long. Finally, the 'Jellie' prefers an environment with high humidity, which can be achieved in a living room with a plant spray.
