Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but growth will be slower and more leggy.
  • Ideal Room: Living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, or terrariums with bright, filtered light
  • Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser.
  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity (50–70%); benefits from occasional misting but adapts to typical household humidity.
  • Ideal Temperature: 18–26°C; avoid temperatures below 15°C.
  • Watering: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Peperomias dislike overwatering—keep lightly moist but never soggy.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Non-toxic (genus level) — safe for homes with pets and children.
  • Soil Type: Light, airy mix such as peat/coco coir with perlite; epiphytic mixes with bark also work well
  • Propagation: Very easy—stem cuttings root quickly in soil, water, or sphagnum moss
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Trails 30–60 cm; forms dense mats of round foliage
  • Growth Rate: Moderate; faster in warm, bright, humid conditions
  • Pests and Treatment: Can attract fungus gnats or mealybugs in overly wet soil; treat with neem oil and adjust watering
  • Repotting: Every 1–2 years; prefers snug pots and well-aerated soil
  • Pruning: Trim trailing stems to maintain fullness; cuttings can be reused for propagation
  • Air Purification: Moderate; adds gentle greenery and helps freshen small spaces
  • Folklore: Associated with friendship and positivity due to its soft, rounded leaves and gentle cascading habit
