How to fertilize Silver Ripple 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 Silver Ripple 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

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

Easy plant. She likes her water. She’ll definitely let you know when she’s thirsty. Still getting to know her but she doesn’t like her leaves touched, they go black. She likes to be in a room with a north facing window.
