Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle morning sun. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the foliage.
- Water: Allow the top portion of the soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess moisture drain completely; avoid constantly wet soil.
- Soil: Use a loose, well-draining potting mix with added perlite or similar material to provide excellent root aeration.
- Humidity: Average household humidity is generally suitable. Moderate humidity and good air circulation support healthy growth.
- Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temperatures around 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Rotate periodically to encourage balanced growth and avoid overwatering, particularly while the plant is growing in its small nursery container.
- Pruning: Pinch or trim overly long stems to maintain a compact shape and encourage fuller, branching growth. Remove damaged foliage as needed.
- Repotting: Repot when roots become crowded, typically every 1–2 years. Move up only slightly in pot size, as Peperomias generally perform well when somewhat snug in their containers.
Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
