How to take care of Peperomia Ferreyrae ‘Fire Sparks’

Sun: Indirect

Peperomia Ferreyrae ‘Fire Sparks’ thrives in medium to bright light. Place it near a bright window filtered by sheer curtains or set slightly back from a sunny sill to prevent scorching.

Light: Bright - Medium

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. Morning sun or a couple of hours of gentle afternoon sun is perfect, with indirect light for the rest of the day.
