Ruby Glow Peperomia (Peperomia graveolens), also known as Glow or Ruby Peperomia, is a colorful, compact succulent plant primarily found in Ecuador. It has fleshy, green and red foliage in a curved canoe shape growing on thick, sturdy stems. Besides its striking good looks, it is an easy plant to grow. Once you provide it with the proper growing environment, you barely need to give it any maintenance.
Best Locations For Growing Ruby Glow Peperomia
Ruby Glow grows well when placed in plenty of bright indirect light, for example near an east-facing window. Ideal room temperatures range between 65 - 75 degrees F; avoid temperatures that are below 60 degrees.
Ruby Glow Peperomia Sunlight Requirements
Place Ruby Glow in bright indirect light for best growth. It may lose its vibrance in low light conditions.
Ruby Glow Peperomia Care
Grow Ruby Glow in humus-rich, well-draining soil in a pot with ample drainage holes. Add coconut coir, perlite, or coarse sand to the soil to improve the drainage capacity. It prefers to be a little pot-bound. You can add organic compost to the soil's top dressing for added nutrients. It’s normal for Ruby Glow Peperomia to lose its bottom leaves, but if you notice many leaves dropping, check the room's temperature, ensure it's not sitting near cold drafts, and scale back on fertilization.
Watering Ruby Glow Peperomia
Water Ruby Glow Peperomia when the soil feels dry to the touch. Their fleshy stems can hold onto water, so they are forgiving if you accidentally forget to water them once in a while. Cut back on watering during winter months.
Feeding Ruby Glow Peperomia
Use a balanced fertilizer cut to 1/2 the strength recommended on the label once every month or so during the growing season.

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.
