Piperaceae

Peperomia caperata 'Schumi Red'

Care at a glance

Water
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain completely. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Light
Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while too little light will cause leggy growth.
Humidity
Prefers average to high humidity, around 40-60%.
Temperature
Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or aroid plants.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Toxicity
Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for most homes.
Propagation
Easily propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Simply place cuttings in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.
