Detailed information on plant care
⭐
Growing conditions
lighting
Medium to bright light - indirect light preferred. Tolerant of shade! Avoid strong direct sun which may burn the leaves.
Irrigation
Little! - Let the soil dry out between bags. The fleshy leaves store water. The golden rule: Better too little than too much!
ground
A light, well-drained mix. Excellent soil for succulents or cacti! You can add perlite to a regular mix.
moisture
Does well with normal house humidity. Likes higher humidity but not required - a flexible plant!

✅ Safe for pets!
According to the ASPCA, all varieties of Peperomia are non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses! It's one of the safest plants for a home with pets. Even if your cat nibbles on a leaf - there's nothing to worry about (maybe a bit of a sensitive stomach from eating plants in general).
💡 Pro tip
Easy propagation! Peperomia reproduces with amazing ease - just cut a leaf with a little stem, let it dry for a day, and plant in moist soil. Within weeks, roots and new leaves will grow! Small pot: Peperomia likes to be a little "crowded" - don't rush to move to a larger pot. Perfect location: a northern window sill or a table by a window 🪴
