Care Instructions
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves and fade their vibrant colors.
Water: Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil feel dry. Peperomias store water in their leaves and stems, so they are sensitive to overwatering.
Humidity: Thrives in average to high humidity. They will appreciate a humid environment but are quite adaptable to standard home humidity levels.
Temperature: Thrives in typical room temperatures, between 65-80°F. Protect from cold drafts.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer: Light feeding with a balanced houseplant food every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
