-
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Direct afternoon sun will scorch the leaves and should be avoided. It tolerates medium light, but growth may slow.
-
Temperature: Warm. The plant thrives in average household conditions. Day and Night: 68-86°F (20-30°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
-
Humidity: Moderate humidity is preferred, but the plant adapts well to average indoor levels. Avoid placing it near dry heating vents.
-
Watering: Allow the top half of the potting mix to dry completely before watering again. Water thoroughly when dry, but never let the pot sit in standing water, as this semi-succulent foliage is highly susceptible to root rot.
Additional Notes
Like many Peperomia, this plant produces tiny, inconspicuous flowers on long, slender, greenish-white or brownish spikes that stand upright above the foliage. They are not considered significant to the plant's ornamental value and may be pruned off if desired.
