Peperomia Ripple (Peperomia caperata)

Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light and even some low light settings Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the textured leaves Best near an east or north-facing window, or under grow lights

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain Avoid letting it sit in water to prevent root rot More drought-tolerant than many tropical plants—better to underwater than overwater

Soil: Thrives in a light, airy, and well-draining mix. Use a peat-based houseplant mix with added perlite or sand Orchid bark or coco coir can help improve drainage Ensure the pot has drainage holes to avoid soggy roots Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer No need to fertilize in the fall and winter months when growth slows Avoid overfertilizing, which can cause leaf burn or distortion Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor levels. Keep away from heating vents and cold drafts Group with other plants or use a humidity tray if your home is very dry Occasional misting can help, but isn’t required
