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. Peperomias prefer being slightly pot-bound.

💡 Joe's Top Tip
Rotate the pot every couple of weeks to encourage even growth. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy and maximise light absorption.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Most people damage this plant by overwatering. Constantly wet compost quickly leads to root rot.

🌿 Plant Fact
