How to Care for the Plant

Water
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.
Fertilizer
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.
Sunlight
Best grown in full sun to part shade.
