BICOLOR PEPEROMIA
Light:
☀️ Bright, indirect light. Bicolor Peperomia prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Water:
💧 Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Peperomias are susceptible to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-draining and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Reduce watering during the winter months.Soil:
🌱 Well-draining, light potting mix. A general houseplant soil or a mix with added perlite or sand will work well to prevent the roots from sitting in excess moisture.Temperature:
🌡️ Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C - 24°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).Humidity:
💦 Moderate to high humidity is ideal. Peperomias do well in typical household humidity but benefit from occasional misting or a humidity tray if the air is too dry.Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.Pruning:
✂️ Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. You can also trim back leggy growth to encourage a bushier shape.
