Peperomia Red Luna

Here are some care tips for the Peperomia 'Red Luna' plant:
 
Light:
- Bright. indirect light is best. Can tolerate some direct morning sun.
- Too much direct. intense sunlight can cause the leaves to fade or scorch.
 
Water:
- Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. The thick leaves store water.

- Reduce watering in winter when growth is slower.
 
Soil:
- Use a well-draining soil mix meant for cacti and succulents.
- Amend with perlite or small rocks to increase drainage and aeration.
 
Temperature:
- Prefers average warm household temperatures of 65-80°F.
- Avoid cold drafts or exposing it to freezing temps.
 
Humidity:
- Average to slightly above average humidity levels are ideal. 
- Can tolerate lower humidity better than most peperomias.
 
Fertilizer: 
- Feed every 2-3 months during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength.
 
Pruning:
- Remove any dead or damaged leaves as needed.
- Can prune leggy growth to maintain a fuller shape.
 
The Peperomia 'Red Luna' is prized for its beautiful deep red. almost black foliage that contrasts nicely with the leaf patterns. Proper watering and bright. indirect light will keep the coloring vibrant. Be cautious of overwatering this variety.
