Peperomia Ginny

Peperomia Ginny

Peperomia Ginny is a delightful, compact houseplant known for its olive green, oval-shaped leaves with deep, striking pink undersides and cream margins. These leaves add a splash of color and texture to any plant collection. Ginny’s tidy, upright growth habit makes it ideal as a tabletop accent. With its unique foliage and manageable size, Ginny is perfect for plant lovers seeking a versatile, eye-catching addition that fits in smaller spaces.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions with slightly slower growth. It prefers a well-draining, loam- or peat-based potting mix enriched with orchid bark and perlite to keep roots healthy and prevent water retention. Water moderately when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring proper drainage to avoid root rot. Peperomia Ginny appreciates moderate humidity and benefits from occasional misting or use of a humidifier in drier environments. Monthly feeding during spring and summer supports vibrant foliage. Prune lightly to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves and repot every 2–3 years to refresh soil and maintain healthy growth.
