Peperomia – code 1

🌿 Light Thrives in bright, indirect light — near an east or west-facing window is ideal. (LifeTips) Tolerates moderate light but won’t grow as quickly; very low light will cause leggy, sparse stems. (Houseplant Central) Avoid strong direct sun, especially midday rays — this can scorch leaves. (LifeTips) 💧 Watering Let the soil dry slightly before watering again. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. (Planteza) These plants have succulent-like leaves, storing water — so they don’t like overwatering and are somewhat drought tolerant. (Grounded) Water thoroughly but ensure the pot has drainage holes and no water sits in a saucer. (Planteza) Reduce watering in winter as growth slows. (Planteza) 🌱 Soil & Potting Use a well-draining potting mix (e.g., with peat moss, perlite, or coarse sand). (Planteza) A cactus/succulent soil mix or adding perlite/bark improves aeration and prevents root rot. (Gardening Chores) Repot every 2–3 years or when roots fill the pot. (Planteza) 🌡️ Temperature & Humidity Prefers warm temperatures about 18–27 °C (65–80 °F). (Planteza) Likes moderate humidity — average home humidity is usually fine, but occasional misting or a pebble tray can help. (Planteza) 🌿 Fertilizer Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. (Planteza) Skip fertilizer in fall/winter when growth slows. (Planteza) ✂️ Pruning & Maintenance Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy and healthy. (Planteza) Wiping leaves with a damp cloth helps them stay glossy and absorb light better. (House Planty) 🌱 Propagation Easy to propagate from stem cuttings: cut below a node, place in moist soil or water, and roots should develop in a few weeks. (Planteza) ✅ Common Problems Yellow leaves: often from overwatering or poor drainage. (Planteza) Leggy growth: usually due to insufficient light. (Planteza) Brown tips: can be from low humidity or too much fertilizer. (Planteza) Root rot: happens in soggy soil — improve drainage and water less. (Planteza) 🪴 Extra Tips Variegated forms may need a bit more light than all-green ones so their lighter leaf parts stay vibrant. (Houseplant Central) If soil dries too slowly, consider repotting to a smaller pot with better-draining mix.
