Peperomia Red Edge
Peperomia Obtusifolia Red Edge
The plant, by the plant
Every leaf of mine comes with a hand-drawn red outline, like someone very stylish took a marker to the edges. I'm the Peperomia Red Edge - Caribbean-born, Jamaican at heart, and permanently dressed for a gallery opening.
Care-wise, I'm delightfully indifferent to your schedule: indirect light, water when my soil's dry, and that's the whole contract. In spring I may send up quirky white flower spikes that look like tiny antennae tuning into something. Let them vibe.

Care tips
Water regularly leaving the soil to dry out in between waterings. Because of its thick, succulent-like leaves it can easily withstand some neglect. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
