How to take care of Peperomia Schumi Red

Sun: Indirect

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll thrive best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in harsh midday sun to prevent leaf damage.

Water: When mostly dry

Let the top 75% of the soil dry out between waterings. These plants store water in their thick leaves and don’t like to sit in soggy soil.

Humidity: Any

They tolerate average home humidity well but will appreciate a slight boost in drier climates. No special misting needed.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Yes, Peperomia Caperata Variegata is non-toxic and safe for pets like cats and dogs. Always monitor pets that like to nibble on plants just to be safe.

Pro Tip
