This peperomia is highly valued as an ornamental plant. Its compact shape and small, textured leaves complement any decor. The Rosso variety is very similar to the Napoli Night. The difference lies in its shape and color. The Rosso variety has a slightly taller shape and the underside of its foliage is mauve. In addition, the colored varieties are more resistant to sun than the all-green variety. It does not tolerate overwatering and prefers a narrow pot.
