Peperomia Hope care

Peperomia tetraphylla

Thirsty’s starting schedule for Peperomia Hope: about every 10 days. Check the soil and adjust it to your home.

Watering

Let the potting mix partly dry out between waterings and take care not to overwater; too much water, or leaving the pot standing in water for long spells, can lead to root rot. Water less in winter. [1][2]

Light

Bright, indirect or filtered light. It tolerates lower light, but direct summer sun can scorch the leaves. [1][2]

Humidity

Copes with normal household humidity but prefers more humid air; use a humidifier if your home is very dry. [1][2]

Soil and potting

A loose, free-draining mix, such as houseplant compost with added perlite. [1][2]
