Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. This plant is relatively easy to care for and is well-suited for indoor environments.Soil
Peperomia magnoliifolia prefers well-draining soil, such as a loamy mix. Ensure the soil has good aeration and drainage to prevent waterlogging. A mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil works well for this plant.Fertilizer
Fertilize Peperomia magnoliifolia 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.Repotting

Peperomia magnoliifolia can be propagated through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season and place them in water or directly into moist soil. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until they develop roots.Pruning
Prune Peperomia magnoliifolia to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.Toxicity
