    However, the ideal Peperomia maculosa care condition is at least 50% humidity level. They will thrive in high humidity zones. In summer months an occasional wash down of the leaves is advisable. Just make sure you do it on a watering day and only in the mornings so that the leaves dry out during the day.

    A nitrogen-rich fertilizer would be the best to grow Peperomia maculosa. Don't fertilize too frequently. Once in 4 to 6 weeks is sufficient. If you use chemicals then make sure you drench the soil deeply to avoid any chemical buildup.

    Peperomia plants will do best in bright, indirect sunlight. An east or west facing window sill is ideal for them at most times of the year. The only thing to watch for is to ensure they don't get excessive direct sunlight during the summer months, as this can cause leaf scorching.
