Instructions d'entretien

Peperomia prostrata thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It enjoys high humidity and should be kept in a humid environment. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.

Sol

This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix. A mix designed for epiphytes or a standard potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Engrais

Feed Peperomia prostrata with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Rempotage

Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Peperomia prostrata can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least a few leaves and place it in water or directly into moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Taille

Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems using clean, sharp scissors. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

Toxicité

Peperomia prostrata is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals and children.

Supplémentaire

To keep your Peperomia prostrata healthy, ensure it is not exposed to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. Regularly check for pests such as spider mites and treat them promptly if found.
