Care Instructions for a Peperomia:

Watering: peperomia/ and Pilea prefer to dry out slightly between waterings, so water when the top inch of soil is dry, usually once a week. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause root rot.

Light: peperomia prefer bright, indirect light, but can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid placing your plant in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.

Temperature: Pilea prefer warm temperatures, with a range of 65-75°F (18-24°C). They can tolerate cooler temperatures, but should be protected from frost.

Soil: Pilea require well-draining soil, such as a standard potting mix with added perlite or sand. Avoid using soil that is too heavy or compact, as this can suffocate the roots.

Fertilizer: Pilea benefit from regular fertilization, especially during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks.

Pruning: Pilea can benefit from occasional pruning to keep the plant looking full and bushy. Prune back any leggy or overgrown stems in the spring or summer, and remove any dead or damaged leaves as needed.

Humidity: Pilea prefer a humid environment, so consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near your plant to increase the humidity.

Overall, Pilea are relatively low-maintenance plants that can tolerate a variety of conditions. With the right care, they can live for many years and add a touch of tropical beauty to your home. However, they can be sensitive to changes in their environment, so be mindful of any changes in temperature or light, and adjust your care accordingly.
