Congrats! š I got one myself not too long ago. Her nameās Izzy (Isobel). As a head up, the flowers naturally snap themselves off when theyāre done pollenating, so donāt be alarmed if they suddenly drop off after a while. It doesnāt mean thereās something wrong. Itās a pretty cool feature, in my opinion.
1 gillaThanks for the heads up! Id prob be posting about that if it happened. lol. How pretty Izzy is! She got such a big flower on her!
1 gillaBought her from the nursery with that flower. After a couple of weeks, she literally killed it off herself and it landed on her big spoon leaf on the bottom š and Iāve found they flower the most in the summer, but donāt take much light to do so. Mine are all very comfortable in the north windowsills of my house š± hereās how big the flower got before it landed in the big leaf below it, so yours has ways to go. Good luck! š
1 gillaAnd Cher š the peperomias at my local nursery are always $7 so itās really hard for me to not walk out with one š I think youāll find your red margin is pretty hardy itself, like other obtusifolia and clusifolia. As long as you donāt overwater it or place it anywhere cold while the soilās still wet, theyāve become my lowest maintenance plants (and I have jade plants, so thatās saying something). Hope yours treat you as well as mine do š
1 gillaSunny and Cher are beauuuutiful!!!! I nearly got a verigated one when I picked up the red margin. He seems to love his NE window and I agree, suuuuuuper low maintance, on par with my ZZs. Dang thatās a big leaf on Izzy!!! š¤©š¤©š¤© itās nearly hand sized! Mines not nearly that big, but I just upsized her pot only about a month ago.
