Origin
The Peperomia caperata rojo Grande, known as a plant from the Piperaceae family, has its origin in the Amazon region of South America. Its natural habitat is primarily tropical, where this plant can often be found in forests and undergrowth areas.

Characteristics
The Peperomia caperata rojo Grande has a distinct appearance, with heart-shaped leaves that are deeply wrinkled. Each wine-red leaf is richly grooved and almost velvety. The plant is compact and grows to an average height of 20 cm. During flowering time, narrow, upright white flowers are visible.

Care
As the Peperomia caperata rojo Grande is a tropical plant, it loves warm temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. It prefers bright, indirect light but can also survive in semi-shade. It grows well in well-drained soil and requires regular watering, but does not enjoy overfertilisation. The plant needs high humidity, so a light mist of water is appreciated.
