Ā Parallel Peperomia ć°ļø Care Guide
Ā POSITION / LIGHT: its vibrant stripes. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the foliage.
Ā WATERING: Water when the top 2ā3cm of soil feels dry. As a semi-succulent, it stores water in its stems and leaves, so itās better to underwater than overdo it. Let excess water drain freely. We find bottom watering is better.
Ā TEMPERATURE: Thrives in temperatures between 18ā26Ā°C. Keep away from drafts, cold windows, and heatersāit likes a consistent, cosy environment.
Ā FERTILISER: Feed every 4ā6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Regular feeding helps boost leaf colour and fullness.
Ā GROWTH RATE: Slow to Moderate. It wonāt take over your shelf overnight, but with the right care it fills out beautifully over time.
Ā PET FRIENDLY? Yes! Parallel Peperomia is non-toxic to pets and people, making it a safe choice for plant-filled households.
FAQ'S ć°ļø
Why is my Parallel Peperomia not growing?
It may not be getting enough light or could be in a dormant phase (common in cooler months). Make sure itās in a bright spot, avoid overwatering, and consider feeding it during the growing season to give it a boost.
How do you keep Peperomia from getting leggy?
Ensure itās getting plenty of bright, indirect light, and rotate the pot regularly for even growth. If it still stretches, give it a light prune just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth.
What is the best soil for Parallel Peperomia?
A well-draining mix is key. Use a high-quality indoor plant potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for extra airflow. Avoid heavy, moisture-retaining soils that can lead to root rot.
Why is my Peperomia suddenly dying?
Check for overwatering firstāmushy stems, yellowing leaves, or soggy soil are signs of root rot. It could also be under-watering, pests, or sudden environmental changes. Trim damaged parts, adjust care, and repot if the roots are struggling.
