How to Care for the Plant
Water
Water when the top several inches of soil are dry, about every other week. Water with fresh water lightly and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Keep the leaves dry.
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
Houseplants may be fertilized with: 1. water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2. temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; 3. or organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. Water soluble fertilizers are used every two weeks or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are carefully worked into the soil usually only once during the growing season or per label directions. For organic fertilizers, such as fish emulsion, follow label directions. Allow houseplants to 'rest' during the winter months; stop fertilizing in late October and resume feeding in late February.
Sunlight
The Peperomia needs low to medium, indirect light. She can tolerate partial shade and will even grow under fluorescent lights.
Soil
A short but broad growing understory plant or pot plant with green/gold variegated thick glossy, rounded leaves. Fantastic indoor plant, especially in hanging baskets in bright conditions. Use a quality potting mix such as Supersoil Professional potting mix. Keep soil moist at all times.
