Water
Top and bottom watering both work well for peperomia plants. A important thing is that you water thoroughly, let a pot drain completely, and avoid getting water on a leaves. (don't forget to add a little indoor plant food to your water to give your peperomia a nutrients it needs to grow and stay healthy!).
