    Congrats! šŸŽ‰ I got one myself not too long ago. Her name’s Izzy (Isobel). As a head up, the flowers naturally snap themselves off when they’re done pollenating, so don’t be alarmed if they suddenly drop off after a while. It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong. It’s a pretty cool feature, in my opinion.

      Bought 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 šŸ˜‚ and I’ve found they flower the most in the summer, but don’t take much light to do so. Mine are all very comfortable in the north windowsills of my house 🌱 here’s how big the flower got before it landed in the big leaf below it, so yours has ways to go. Good luck! šŸ‘

      If you’re looking for a particularly cool, but very hardy peperomia, my favorites are the marbled obtusifolia. My twins are named Sunny and Cher. Here’s Sunny ā˜€ļø

      And Cher šŸŒ™ the peperomias at my local nursery are always $7 so it’s really hard for me to not walk out with one šŸ˜‚ I think you’ll find your red margin is pretty hardy itself, like other obtusifolia and clusifolia. As long as you don’t overwater it or place it anywhere cold while the soil’s still wet, they’ve become my lowest maintenance plants (and I have jade plants, so that’s saying something). Hope yours treat you as well as mine do 😊

      Sunny 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 that’s a big leaf on Izzy!!! 🤩🤩🤩 it’s nearly hand sized! Mines not nearly that big, but I just upsized her pot only about a month ago.
