Light
Likes bright, indirect light; will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun in autumn and winter.
Water
Thoroughly water once the top third of the soil has dried out; make sure you don't leave the plant itself wet as this can cause it to rot.
Humidity
Thrives in higher humidity, so will appreciate a humidity tray or more frequent misting.
Soil
Use a dense, well-draining mix. Repot every three years in spring as the plant grows.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six or seven in autumn and winter. Pre-water the soil before applying 'ready to use' products to protect the roots.
Temperature
Ideal temperature is 18-26°C; make sure it does not get colder than 12°C in winter.
Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!
Sprouts Top Tips
If your plant is in a darker location, poke the soil gently with a chopstick or similar to provide ventilation and mimic the actions of earthworms and other critters- this will reduce the risk of root rot!
Peperomias can be propagated from a single leaf: trim off a healthy leaf, cut it in half and place it onto soil. With a bit of patience and a nice, warm spot your peperomia will take root and grow into a whole new plant!

Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
Wanted one of these for ages so I had to jump at the size and price of this plant. Stunning large leaves and has already grown loads
Lovely little plant beautifully packaged. Arrived in perfect condition at a great price. Thank you so much :)
I bought a 'medium' and what arrived was a very generously sized plant which I was very happy with . Plant was in good condition, and was very carefully wrapped for shipping.
What a treat—a box full of surprise plants, including two I haven't grown before. All except one of the five received were far from wonky really, and I hope the struggler will catch up with the others with a bit of tlc! It's a great way to shop for indoor plants and loads of fun unpacking. The handwritten note is a brilliant guide on what they each need. I definitely recommend it, and I will likely be back to try the bigger version!!
