Peperomia Hope

Description

Peperomia ‘Hope’ is such a cute, trailing little plant with those round, juicy leaves. Here’s a quick & easy care guide to keep it thriving:

🌤️ Light

• Bright, indirect light is perfect.
• Avoid direct sun (can scorch those pretty leaves).
• Tolerates lower light, but growth will slow.

💧 Watering

• Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry between waterings.
• Water less in winter.
• Avoid soggy soil — they hate “wet feet” (root rot risk).

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining mix — like a succulent or cactus blend with some added perlite.
• Good airflow around roots is key.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Loves warm spots: 65–80°F (18–27°C).
• Average indoor humidity is fine, but it appreciates a little extra in dry months.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• Feed monthly during spring/summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
• No need to feed in fall/winter.

✂️ Pruning

• Trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
• You can propagate those cuttings in water or soil!

🐛 Pests

• Pretty low-maintenance, but check for mealybugs or spider mites occasionally.
