Pepromia Obtusifolia Green

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Be careful not to overwater, as Peperomias are prone to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions. It benefits from occasional misting in very dry air.
• Soil: Well-draining, lightweight potting mix. A general houseplant mix or one designed for succulents works well.
• Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Cut back on feeding in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. You can also prune to encourage bushier growth.
• Pests: Can attract mealybugs or aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
• Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets, making it a great choice for homes with animals.
