Peperomia Ripple

Botanical Name: Peperomia caperata

Common Name(s): Ripple Peperomia, Emerald Ripple, Radiator Plant

Peperomia Ripple is a compact and decorative houseplant known for its deeply textured, wrinkled leaves that come in various shades, from rich green to silvery and even purple. Native to the rainforests of Brazil, this Peperomia is a great choice for small spaces, typically reaching only about 6-8 inches in height and spread. Its distinctive, heart-shaped leaves and mounding growth habit make it a popular choice for tabletops, desks, and shelves.

Ripple Peperomia thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels, though the color and texture of the leaves may be more pronounced with better light. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, as it is prone to root rot if overwatered. Average indoor humidity is sufficient for this plant, though it enjoys slightly higher humidity if possible.

Air Purifying Qualities: Peperomia Ripple contributes to a fresher indoor environment by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Though it is not a heavy air purifier, it can still positively impact indoor air quality.

Note: Peperomia Ripple is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe, pet-friendly plant for homes with animals. As always, it’s wise to keep an eye on pets to prevent any chewing, though this plant poses no toxicity risk.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Fertilize sparingly: Feed your Peperomia Ripple with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once or twice a year during the spring and summer. Too much fertilizer can burn the roots.
  2. Repot carefully: Repot your Peperomia Ripple only when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
  3. Avoid overwatering: Overwatering is the most common cause of death for peperomias. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
  4. Protect from cold drafts & pests: Peperomias are sensitive to cold drafts. Place them away from drafty windows and doors. Additionally, keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

How can I change my order details?

To update your order details, please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. We care about all our customers and will like to ship the correct item to the right location. We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
