About Plant

Caring for Pip

Light

Peperomias prefer bright filtered light, but can tolerate lower light conditions, although growth will be slower.

Water & humidity

Peperomias don't like to be overwatered. This variety has thick fleshy leaves, an indicator that they're able to hold water. Pip likes his soil to dry out at least 2-3cm down before being watered again. Average humidity will do, just keep away from cold draughts, or hot dry heaters.

Feeding

Feed monthly in summer with a sachet of organic Canola Meal. Don't feed in winter.

Re-potting

Peperomias like to be potbound, so they only really need re-potting to refresh the soil every spring. If you want a bigger plant, only go one pot size up.

Atrium Top Tip

Watch out for rotting stalks, wilting or yellowing leaves - this could be a sign of overwatering. Peperomias respond really well to pruning and it helps them retain a bushy compact appearance.

Quirky plant fact

Peperomias are part of the Piperaceae family, with over 1,000 species - the most well-known being Piper nigrum, the black peppercorn vine, which is where we get pepper from!

Amazing quality and condition! I love this plant because of the amazing bright colors, and the rich purple stem. Plant arrived full and very happy, with lots of new growth.

I've received this one instead of the ash grey, BUT I actually wanted this one but it was sold out. So I was ecstatic to when I opened the box and this beauty popped out!

Probably one of my top 5 favourite plants which I own. I can't stop staring at the beautiful colours of the leaves and how they shimmer in the sunlight. This is also one of my fastest growing plants which makes it so satisfying.

The PEPEROMIA Blackberry swirl is absolutely beautiful. The leaves are thick and fresh. There are plenty of new babies growing at the bottom. There was only one leaf that was damaged in transit. I don’t live in a major city and delivery to my door was speedy (it took two days). Overall happy with the service from Atrium
