Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Peperomia prefer bright, indirect sunlight.
  They can tolerate lower light levels, but growth may slow down and leaf colours may be less vibrant.
  Direct sun, especially in the height of summer, can burn the leaves.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Peperomias have semi-succulent leaves that store water, so it's best to allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
  When you water, do so thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot.
  Water less frequently during the cooler winter months.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Peperomias are generally happy in average household humidity, but they do appreciate slightly higher humidity levels.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant with luke warm water if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Peperomias prefer warm, consistent temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C
  They are sensitive to cold and do not tolerate temperatures below 10°C
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed regularly during the growing season (spring and summer, typically April to October) with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2 weeks.
  Stop fertilising during the winter months.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 1-2 years, or when root bound, in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves with clean tools to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthier growth.
