Peperomia Bi-Colour – Care Guide for Alans Garden

Peperomia Bi-Colour is a compact and attractive foliage plant with beautiful two-toned leaves, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces, balconies, and tabletop gardens.

• ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid strong afternoon sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
• 💧 Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil becomes dry. Avoid frequent watering and waterlogging.
• 🌱 Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix containing cocopeat, perlite, and organic matter.
• 🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures around 18–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• 💦 Humidity: Moderate humidity is sufficient. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal problems.
• 🌿 Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength once every 4–6 weeks during active growth.
• ✂️ Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and trim leggy stems to encourage compact growth.
• 🪴 Repotting: Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot with good drainage.
• 🌱 Propagation: Can be propagated through healthy stem or leaf cuttings, depending on the type.

Alans Garden Tip: Peperomia prefers slightly dry conditions between watering. Good drainage and bright indirect light are the keys to maintaining healthy, colourful foliage.
