How to fertilize Felted Peperomia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Felted Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My peperomia was potted in way to big of a pot when I bought it so it rotted. I chopped it from the trunk and stuck it in water and now it's rooting. What should my next move be? Will it be successful in soil? #Peperomia

How do you plant a propagated pup? I water propped my sister’s baby rubber plant (Peperomia obtusifolia) and it grew roots and a pup 🥹 but I don’t know how to transfer it to soil 😅 Can anyone tell me how to transfer this? Do I remove the pup or just put the whole thing with the big leaf and everything in the new pot? #Peperomia #PropagationStation #Propagation #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth

So long story short, I think I under watered them over watered and the leaves started to fall off and then the stem turned black. Do you think it’ll come back to life? Thank you! #Peperomia

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I went to California to visit family. I live in Arizona which is a very different climate however I was able to find 2 adorable plants that I think will do well at home. 2 different versions of peperomia- fuzzy felt and a variegated version. Both are so pretty. I got them from a very cool plant shop that is also a cafe. If you’re ever in Oceanside, CA stop by Plantology Cafe for delicious coffee and beautiful plants. #Peperomia #coffeeandplants #PlantLover #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict

What is this 🤨 What is growing out of his head? I’m used to them sprouting new leaves but this has been a long stem like thing and it just keeps getting longer. #Peperomia

Is this Normal? My plant looks dry at the root. I have loved it to better lighting and bottom watered so as to not over water her. She feels like she’s doing good until I looked deeper. Is this normal??? #Peperomia
