Care Guide for Peperomia obtusifolia ‘Green’

Light

This plant does best in bright, indirect light, but it’s adaptable and can tolerate lower light levels too. Avoid strong, direct sun, which can scorch the fleshy leaves. Ideal for north or east-facing windows, or a few feet back from a bright window.

Watering

Let the top of the soil dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top 3–4cm of soil feels dry. The succulent-like leaves store moisture, so it's better to underwater than overwater. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent soggy soil and root rot.

Humidity

Average indoor humidity is sufficient. While it doesn’t require high humidity, it does appreciate a gentle misting in very dry conditions, especially during winter when central heating can dry the air.

Temperature

Keep your Peperomia obtusifolia ‘Green’ in a warm room between 18–26°C. Avoid cold windowsills and sudden temperature drops. It’s not frost-hardy, so keep indoors year-round in the UK.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix – a general houseplant compost with added perlite or orchid bark works well. A mix designed for succulents or epiphytes is also suitable.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. No feeding is necessary in autumn or winter when the plant’s growth slows.

Pruning & Maintenance

  • Pinch back any leggy growth to maintain a bushy shape.

  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and glossy.

  • Repot only when rootbound (every 2–3 years).

Propagation

Peperomia is easy to propagate from leaf or stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water or moist compost and keep warm until roots develop.


Common Problems

  • Mushy stems or yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage

  • Drooping leaves: Underwatering or sudden temperature changes

  • Leaf drop: Often due to cold drafts or low light

  • Dull foliage: Dust buildup or low light exposure


Styling Tips

  • Perfect for minimalist pots, desks, and shelf styling

  • Combine with other pet-safe plants for a lush, non-toxic indoor jungle

  • Looks great in hanging planters or grouped with other Peperomias
