Notes
'Luna Red' alaala (Peperomia caperata 'Luna Red') is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance spots. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and has an erect habit, so it looks tidy in a pot all year.
Pairs well with Global Green pothos, African iris, and Sweet Nathalie dahlia.
