Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Peperomias prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during winter months to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove any dead or leggy stems. Pinching back the tips can encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in spring.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. For stem cuttings, take a 2-3 inch piece and plant in moist soil. For leaf cuttings, insert a healthy leaf into soil or water.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Spring is the best time for repotting.
