Peperomia Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Peperomia plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. Learn more about light requirements.

Watering Needs

Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so ensure proper drainage.

Soil Preferences

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one made for succulents or houseplants. A blend of peat, perlite, and potting soil is ideal. Shop Indoor Potting Mix

Temperature & Humidity

Peperomia prefers temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C) and moderate humidity. They can adapt well to normal indoor humidity but appreciate occasional misting.

Fertilization

Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Explore Natural Fertilizers

Pruning & Maintenance

Trim leggy growth to maintain a compact shape and remove any yellowing leaves. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free.

Stem Cuttings

Take 3-4 inch cuttings from healthy stems and root them in water or directly in moist soil.

Leaf Cuttings

Cut healthy leaves with a short stem and plant them in soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.
