6" Watermelon Peperomia

Peperomia plants are generally easy to care for and make great indoor houseplants. Here are some simple care tips for peperomias:

1. Light: Peperomias prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow down.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to underwater than overwater.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix formulated for succulents or cacti works well.

4. Temperature and Humidity: Peperomias prefer average to warm temperatures (65-80°F or 18-27°C) and moderate humidity. They can tolerate slightly lower humidity levels typical of indoor environments.

5. Fertilizing: Feed your peperomia with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

By following these basic care guidelines, your peperomia should thrive and remain a beautiful addition to your indoor plant collection.
