Water
Water your Peperomia when the top inch of soil feels dry. These plants are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the soil drains well and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Less frequent watering is better during the winter months.
Humidity
Peperomias are tolerant of typical indoor humidity levels but appreciate a bit more moisture in the air. They do well in moderately humid environments but don’t require misting unless your home is very dry.
Temperature
Peperomias prefer a warm environment between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Keep them away from drafts or sudden temperature changes, as they are sensitive to cold.
