A Note on Size

The nursery pot size refers to the diameter of the pot the plant is growing in and does not indicate the overall height of the plant. Individual plants can vary in height, shape and fullness.

Plant Care

Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering, as Peperomias don't enjoy constantly wet soil. They prefer a warm indoor position with bright, filtered light. When in doubt, it’s usually better to wait a little longer before watering than to overdo it.

A water meter can be particularly handy if you're still getting to know your plant's watering needs.
