Helpful Hints

1. Grow this plant in well-draining, aerated soil under fluorescent or bright, indirect light. Peperomia grows best in clay pots, which wick away moisture.

2. Provide high humidity by misting the plant daily, putting its container on a pebble tray, or using a humidifier.

3. Water when the soil is dry, providing consistent water and temperatures between 60-80 degrees.

4. Keep this plant away from drafty vents or windows and make any temperature or lighting changes gradually.
