PEPEROMIA

Care:

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves. East or west-facing windows are perfect spots.

Water: Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow excess water to drain freely.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix is crucial. A mixture designed for succulents or cacti works well.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.

Temperature: Comfortable room temperatures between 65-80°F are ideal. Avoid exposing it to drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Humidity: Adapts well to average household humidity, but thrives in higher humidity levels. Misting occasionally or using a pebble tray can help.

Pruning: Not necessary for regular growth but can be done to control size or remove leggy stems. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushier appearance.
