Product Description
Light
They like bright light, but do not need direct sunlight. In fact, peperomia obtusifolia makes a good ground cover in shade.
Peperomias do not like deep shade or strong sunlight, two very big extremes. Grow them somewhere in between and you’ll be fine.
Temperature
These plants are easy to grow in the house. They like warmth, but do not need high humidity. During the summer months, temperatures between 68 – 78 F. In the winter, temperatures should not go below 50 F.
Watering
Do not over-water these plants. Watering every 7 – 10 days should be enough, depending on time of year and temperature.
Feeding
Peperomias resent overwatering and will rot off at the base. Personally, I like to let the soil dry completely between waterings. This will greatly help prevent root rot.
Soil
However, repot when the plant becomes too large for its pot. When repotting, use a well-draining soil (50% peat moss /50% perlite).
Transplanting
Generally, peperomias do better under potted than over potted.
