Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant foliage. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
- Water: Allow the top 2–5 cm of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess moisture to drain; avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
- Soil: Use a light, well-draining indoor potting mix with added perlite or similar material to promote good aeration.
- Humidity: Comfortable in average household humidity but appreciates moderate humidity and good air circulation.
- Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Maintenance: Rotate the plant periodically for balanced growth and gently clean foliage as needed to prevent dust buildup.
- Pruning: Pinch or trim long stems to encourage fuller, bushier growth and remove any damaged or declining foliage.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when noticeably root-bound. Peperomias generally prefer being slightly snug in their containers.
Note: Plant pot or hanging basket may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot or plastic hanging basket.
