Quick Guide
- Compact red and bronze rippled foliage
- Tolerates moderate to bright indirect light
- Water when soil dries out almost completely
- Pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs
- Easy-care plant for small spaces and desks
Peperomia caperata 'Cayenne' is a compact, easy-care houseplant prized for its deeply rippled, heart-shaped leaves in rich shades of red, bronze and dark green. The heavily textured foliage creates striking visual interest, making it a perfect choice for desks, shelves and small spaces. This charming plant grows in a neat, bushy rosette form, reaching a modest 20 cm in height.
It thrives in moderate to bright indirect light, developing deeper burgundy tones when placed in lighter conditions. As a semi-succulent, Peperomia Cayenne prefers its soil to dry out almost completely between waterings – water only when the top 1–2 inches feel dry. It tolerates average household humidity well and performs best at temperatures between 18–26°C. With its tidy form and minimal care requirements, it's an excellent choice for beginners looking for bold foliage without fussy maintenance. The plant is also pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Plant Guide
Place Peperomia Cayenne in bright, indirect light – an east- or west-facing window works well. Water only when the top 1–2 inches are dry; this semi-succulent hates overwatering. Average household humidity is adequate. Feed with diluted, balanced fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during growing season. Repot every 2–3 years using well-draining potting mix with perlite. Prune leggy stems for bushier growth. Propagate easily through leaf or stem cuttings.

Third-Party Couriers
For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.
Delivery Discrepancies
Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.
Click & Collect
We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.
All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.
Returns Policy
If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.
Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.
Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
