Useful Information

Plant Bio

Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie' is a vibrant and popular perennial houseplant, admired for its thick, glossy leaves edged with striking colors. This Peperomia cultivar features elongated, oval-shaped foliage that is primarily dark green, but adorned with a distinctive border of cream, pink, and vibrant red, creating a cheerful and eye-catching display. Its semi-succulent nature and compact size make it a charming addition to indoor plant collections in the UK. It is a member of the Piperaceae family.

The genus name Peperomia comes from Greek words, meaning "pepper-like," referring to its relation to the black pepper plant. Clusiifolia means "with leaves like Clusia," another genus of tropical plants. 'Jellie' is a cultivar name, often chosen to describe its varied, colourful edges, sometimes appearing jelly-like.

Light: Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie' thrives in bright, indirect light. Strong, direct sunlight can harm its leaves, potentially causing burning or a reduction in the vibrant edge colours. Insufficient light may result in slower growth and duller foliage. A position near a window with filtered light in a typical UK home is ideal. Brighter light will enhance the red and pink hues on the leaf margins.

Water: Water moderately, allowing the top inch or two of the potting mix to dry out between waterings. These plants store water in their fleshy leaves, so they are susceptible to overwatering, which can lead to root issues. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage. Reduce watering in autumn and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix is essential. A standard houseplant compost, possibly amended with perlite or coarse sand to improve aeration, is often recommended. Some growers even use mixes similar to those for cacti or succulents due to its semi-succulent nature.

Fertilising: Use a diluted liquid fertiliser every four to six weeks during the active growing period in spring and summer. Reduce or stop fertilising during the autumn and winter months. These plants are not heavy feeders.

Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C (64°F and 75°F). It is not tolerant of frost and should be protected from cold draughts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F), which can occur indoors during colder UK months.

Humidity: Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie' tolerates average household humidity levels, but it can benefit from slightly increased moisture in the air. Placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can be helpful, especially during drier indoor periods with central heating.

Growth Habit: It typically grows as a compact, bushy, upright perennial, though its stems can sometimes trail slightly as they mature. It generally remains a manageable size for indoor display.

Toxicity: Peperomia clusiifolia 'Jellie' is generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets. However, it is always a good practice to prevent ingestion by curious children and animals.
