Plant Care
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
Light
Medium Light
Water
Low to moderate watering. Allow the top half of the compost to dry out between waterings. Its thick leaves store moisture, making it more tolerant of missed waterings than overwatering.
Soil
Free-draining houseplant compost with added perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage and airflow around the roots.
Repot
Repot every 2–3 years in spring or when rootbound. Move up one pot size only, as Peperomias prefer to be slightly snug.

💡 Joe's Top Tip
Bright indirect light keeps the creamy variegation at its best. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust and help the plant make the most of available light.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Most people damage this plant by overwatering. The thick leaves hold plenty of moisture, so constantly damp compost can quickly lead to root rot.
