Peperomia pellucida (Green)

☀️ Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light

Can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow, and leaves may become less glossy

Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves

💧 Watering:
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry

Do not overwater; Peperomias are susceptible to root rot

Ensure the pot has good drainage to allow excess water to escape

In winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant grows slower

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity:
Ideal temperature: 18–24°C (65–75°F)

Prefers moderate humidity, but will tolerate drier air

Mist occasionally if the indoor air is very dry, or place on a humidity tray to boost moisture around the plant

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer:
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants or a cactus/succulent mix

Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer

Avoid fertilizing in winter, as the plant is not actively growing

✂️ Other Care Tips:
Prune occasionally to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves

Rotate the plant regularly to ensure even growth

Clean the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust, as this helps the plant "breathe" and photosynthesize better
