4" Peperomia Pixie

Peperomia plants are easy to care for and come in many varieties with diverse leaf shapes and colors. Here are some simple care tips for Peperomia:

1. Light: Peperomias prefer bright, indirect light. They can also tolerate moderate light conditions, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when watering, but ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity: They do well in normal household humidity levels. Avoid overly dry conditions, especially in winter.

4. Temperature: Peperomias prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts, so keep them away from drafty areas.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend for succulents or cacti. A mix with perlite or coarse sand helps to improve drainage.

6. Fertilizing: Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth slows down.

7. Pruning: Trim leggy growth or remove yellowed leaves as needed to encourage bushy growth.

8. Propagation: Peperomias can be propagated easily from stem or leaf cuttings. Place cuttings in soil or water until roots develop.

By following these care tips, you can keep your Peperomia plant healthy and attractive indoors.
