Here's how to care for this plant:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e: Place your Peperomia puteolata in a bright spot, but avoid direct sun exposure. Bright to medium light is generally ideal. It can tolerate low-light conditions, but its growth may suffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Keep the plant at temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F). Avoid excessively hot or cold temperatures, as well as cold drafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Allow the soil to dry partially between waterings. Water when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch. It's best to water less frequently in winter when the plant is less active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peperomia puteolata prefers moderate ambient humidity. It can tolerate relatively low humidity levels, but it thrives better with slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier or by placing a tray of water with pebbles near the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as an indoor plant potting mix. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fertilize Peperomia puteolata with a diluted balanced indoor plant fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) about once a month.

Simply remove yellow or damaged leaves as they appear to maintain a neat appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommon problems\u003c\/strong\u003e: Watch out for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites. Treat them as soon as you spot them, usually with insecticidal soap or a spray of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peperomia puteolata have relatively slow growth and do not need frequent repotting. Repotting every 2 to 3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound in its pot, is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"FleurExcel Inc.","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":47018965762352,"sku":"","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5\"","offer_id":47018965795120,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\"","offer_id":47018965827888,"sku":"","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/4658\/6672\/files\/4067a85ce753e26faf03ff0b89a5a269.jpg?v=1770171918","url":"https:\/\/fleurexcel.com\/en\/products\/peperomia-puteolata-tetragona","provider":"FleurExcel Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
