How to Care for the Plant

Water
They like to grow in tight pots with moist soil. Unlike most succulents, Peperomia axillaris prefer not to dry out completely between watering.
Pruning
There’s no need to be too delicate when it comes to pruning peperomia plants. They tolerate pruning really well, so don’t hold back. One of the reasons I love peperomia plants is their delicate, compact appearance, so I’m usually fairly aggressive in pruning mine back to keep their ornamental appearance.
Fertilizer
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
