The Peperomia Ruby Cascade is very popular for its habit and unique look. Its round, fleshy leaves are two-tone, on one side a shiny green color and on the other a ruby red. The stems look great in a hanging pot or vine arrangement. It appreciates bright light, but without direct sunlight, as this causes its foliage to fade. Also, it fears excess water and prefers to be cramped in its pot.
