PEPEROMIA PLANT CARE

Peperomias are charming indoor plants known for their ornamental foliage and easy care requirements. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you care for your Peperomia:

Sunlight

  • Bright, Indirect Light: Peperomias prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but too little light may result in leggy growth.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to provide filtered or indirect light.

Watering

  • Moderate Watering: Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings. Peperomias are sensitive to overwatering, so it's crucial not to let the soil become waterlogged.
  • Watering Frequency: Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Humidity

  • Average Indoor Humidity: They can adapt to average indoor humidity levels, but they appreciate higher humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is dry.

Temperature

  • Temperature: Peperomias prefer temperatures between 18-24°C. They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from drafts.
