Peperomia ‘Ginny’ (Peperomia clusiifolia ‘Tricolor’) will add a lovely burst of color to any room. This beauty has wide, green leaves with an irregular creamy margin and blush-pink edges appearing on pinkish-red stems. Also referred to as Tricolor Peperomia, Pink Edge Peperomia, or Rainbow Ginny, this plant is easy to care for and compact. Its growth habit is slightly branching so pinch it back occasionally for a fuller plant.
Best Locations For Growing Peperomia 'Ginny'
Ginny prefers temperatures between 60-80 degrees F and enjoys bright indirect light and higher humidity. Avoid exposing Ginny to dramatic temperature shifts or cold drafts.
Peperomia 'Ginny' Sunlight Requirements
Bright indirect light will produce a more colorful plant. Avoid placing Peperomia ‘Ginny’ in direct sunlight as it will burn the leaves.
Peperomia 'Ginny' Care
In its natural environment, Peperomia grows in leaf litter, forest floor debris, and bark, so it does best in soil mimicking a nutrient-dense, well-drained, highly acidic potting mix. You can mix in perlite or sphagnum peat moss to assist in drainage. Occasionally pinch back leaves to give Ginny a fuller, bushier habit. Rotate your plant regularly to ensure each side receives equal exposure for even, balanced growth. Propagation can be accomplished by leaf cutting, stem cutting, and root division.
Watering Peperomia 'Ginny'
When the top half of the soil dries out, give the plant a deep soak, letting excess water go out the bottom drain holes. Peperomia does not like being in soggy soil; this will cause root rot. Soaking about once a month will keep your plant hydrated and happy. Its leaves appreciate an occasional fine misting with filtered water.
Feeding Peperomia 'Ginny'
Apply a diluted, liquid, succulent fertilizer once a month in spring and summer; no need to fertilize during the winter months.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
