* The plant photos shown are our stock images used to represent the general appearance, size, and quality of the plant you’ll receive. Please remember that each plant is unique—natural variations in color, shape, and size are completely normal!

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to keep its pink and cream variegation vibrant.

• Can tolerate medium light, but colors may fade and growth may slow.

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the variegated edges.

Water

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.

• As a semi-succulent peperomia, it stores water in its leaves—overwatering is the most common problem.

• Keep on the slightly drier side, especially in winter.

Humidity

• Enjoys average household humidity, but can tolerate slightly higher or lower levels.

• Very dry air may cause mild leaf curling.

Temperature

• Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–27°C).

• Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Soil

• Use a light, fast-draining potting mix.

• A blend of potting soil + perlite + a little orchid bark or sand works well.

• Avoid compact or moisture-heavy soils.

Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer.

• Skip fertilizing in fall and winter.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove yellowing, wilted, or damaged leaves.

• Naturally bushy but can be lightly pruned to shape.

Propagation

• Propagate via leaf cuttings or stem cuttings.

• Stem cuttings root faster; leaf cuttings root slowly but reliably.

Common Issues

• Yellow, mushy leaves: overwatering.

• Wrinkled or droopy leaves: underwatering.

• Leggy growth: insufficient light.

• Pests: watch for mealybugs or fungus gnats.

Pet Safety

• Peperomias are non-toxic to pets, making them a great option for homes with cats and dogs.
