Meet Peperomia: The Perfect Low-Maintenance Roommate

Category: Easy Green Friends

Looking for a low-stress, high-vibe plant that won’t throw a fit if you skip a watering? Peperomia is your new BFF. With thick, juicy leaves and tons of cute varieties (hey, Rainbow Ginny!), this plant is basically the introvert of the houseplant world—happy in its own little corner, thriving quietly.

Why You’ll Love It

• Beginner-friendly and fuss-free

• Great for low-light spaces like bedrooms or offices

• Air-purifying bonus = fresh vibes only

• So many leaf shapes and colors it’s basically the Pokémon of houseplants

Care Tips

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal—but it can handle lower light, too.
Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering. Think “occasional sips,” not “daily chugs.”
Humidity: Loves a little mist, but isn’t clingy.
Soil: Use a well-draining mix like our Signature Grow Mix—it’s got just the right balance of fluff and drainage.

Propagation Magic

Ready to make more little Peperomias? Snip a healthy leaf with a node and pop it in water or moss. For a serious root boost, add a few drops of Root Boost to the water. You’ll see roots in no time!

Root Tip

Overwatering is Peperomia’s biggest enemy. If the leaves get squishy or translucent—pump the brakes and check that pot drainage!
