Daily care and tips for Peperomia

How do you care for a Peperomia day to day?

Peperomia needs infrequent watering, about every two weeks once the potting mix has dried out thoroughly, and moderate indirect light. A room temperature between 18 and 24°C is ideal all year round'.

What kind of light is suitable for a Peperomia?

Moderate to bright indirect light, about one meter from'an east- or west-facing window, is ideal for Peperomia. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its fleshy leaves, as well as areas that are too dark and slow its growth.

Why are the leaves on my Peperomia wilting?

Wilting leaves most often indicate overwatering that causes the roots to rot, rather than a lack of water. Make sure your well-draining mineral mix allows water to drain away between waterings.

Can you put a Peperomia outside in summer?

Peperomia can spend th'e summer outdoors if temperatures stay above 15°C, sheltered from direct sunlight and drafts. Bring it back inside as soon as nights get cooler in th'autumn.

How do you repot a Peperomia?

Repot in spring, in a pot that is only slightly larger and has drainage holes. Wait 2 to 3 weeks for the plant to acclimatize after receiving it before repotting, using a mineral-based, well-draining substrate enriched with biostimulants.'
