The Peperomia Ginny (also known as Peperomia clusiifolia 'Ginny' or 'Tricolor') is a compact, low-maintenance houseplant prized for its vibrant, succulent-like leaves featuring green centers with creamy-yellow variegation and pinkish-red edges.
Quick Care Guide
| Feature | Requirement |
| Light | Bright, indirect light is best to maintain its colorful variegation. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. |
| Watering | Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry (usually every 7–10 days). Reduce frequency in winter to every 2–3 weeks. |
| Temperature | Prefers stable indoor temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C–24°C). Protect it from cold drafts. |
| Humidity | Thrives in average household humidity but benefits from slightly higher levels (40-50%). Use a pebble tray if your home is very dry. |
| Soil | Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a succulent or cacti mix, to prevent root rot. |
| Pet Safety | Non-toxic and pet-friendly for cats and dogs. |

Propagating: It is easily propagated through stem or leaf cuttings placed in water or moist soil.
Common Problems
