Peperomia Care Guides

Peperomias are semi-succulent and want bright indirect light with soil that dries out well between waterings. Their thick leaves store water, so the most common mistake is treating them like a tropical foliage plant and watering on a schedule.

The genus is enormous and visually varied — watermelon, ripple, raindrop, string-of-turtles and trailing forms all sit here. They share shallow root systems, which means small pots and a mix that does not stay wet.

What they share

Shallow roots and small pots. Bright indirect light, not direct sun. Water when the top of the soil is dry and the leaves feel slightly less firm. Most are non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Common problems

Dropping leaves usually means overwatering, not thirst. Leggy stretched growth means too little light. Rotting at the base is nearly always a pot too large for the root system.
