Rana Verde Peperomia is a semi-succulent native from Central and South America. A tropical perennial with emerald-green, heart-shaped leaves, the Rana Verde, or Green Frog, Peperomia is a non-fussy plant that thrives in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity. This tropical plant will complement any home/office’s color scheme and time schedule and is the perfect choice for any newbie gardener with minimal spare time.
Best Locations For Growing Rana Verde Peperomia
This verdant, nontoxic gem will thrive in any room with bright, indirect light and moderate humidity between 30% to 40%.
Rana Verde Peperomia Sunlight Requirements
While Rana Verde Peperomia does best in bright, indirect light, it can withstand medium to low light. If placed in a room with periods of bright, direct light, including rooms with south-facing and east-facing windows, set the plant a few feet away from the direct light source to prevent sunburn.
Rana Verde Peperomia Care
Rana Verde Peperomia prefers a soil that drains well so choose a loamy potting soil amended with perlite.
These plants are generally slow growing, so the need to repot is not as frequent as with other plant varieties. If you notice, however, that there is little room left for the roots to grow, simply choose another pot that is one to two inches bigger than the older one, and repot. Your plant will continue to thrive.
Want your Rana Verde Peperomia to be bigger? Want it to multiply? If you prefer a bushier plant, trim/pinch the growth tips, and if you want more Rana Verde Peperomia plants, simply place those cuttings in water and wait for the roots to grow approximately one to two inches. Then, plant them in another pot of soil and wait for your new plants to grow.
Watering Rana Verde Peperomia
Depending on the humidity of Rana Verde Peperomia’s location, this plant should be watered one time every week or two weeks. Allowing the soil to dry in between waterings will help prevent overwatering. To check the soil’s moisture, stick your finger one to two inches beneath the soil. If dry, then, water again. If not, wait another day or two to do another moisture check.
Feeding Rana Verde Peperomia
Rana Verde Peperomia should ideally be fertilized every two weeks with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer administered at half-strength during the growing season. The growing season for this house plant consists of the spring and summer months.

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.
