Peperomia 'Red Ripple' is a cultivar of Peperomia caperata, a species of small, succulent-like plants in the family Piperaceae. Here are some features of Peperomia 'Red Ripple':

Leaf appearance: 'Red Ripple' is known for its attractive, deeply corrugated leaves. The leaves have a dark green color with a unique rippled or crinkled texture. The undersides of the leaves are often a reddish color, which gives the plant its name. The combination of the textured leaves and reddish undersides adds to its visual appeal.
Growth habit: Peperomia 'Red Ripple' is a compact, low-growing plant that typically reaches a height of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters). The plant forms a dense rosette of leaves that grow in a clumping habit. It is well-suited for small spaces or as a tabletop plant.
Light requirements: Peperomia 'Red Ripple' prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the plant may not grow as compact or develop its full color potential. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can lead to leaf burn.
Temperature and humidity: This plant thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C). It appreciates moderate humidity levels but can adapt to average household humidity. Avoid placing it in areas with cold drafts or temperature fluctuations.
Watering: Water 'Red Ripple' when the top inch (2.5 centimeters) of soil feels dry. It prefers slightly moist soil but should not be overwatered, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the excess water to drain away and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
