Cultivation methods and precautions of round-leaf peperomia

Round-leaf peperomia is relatively easy to grow. During maintenance, you must ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. Generally, water it once or twice a week. It does not require high air humidity and can tolerate dry indoor environments. It also does not require very high air humidity and can grow normally in a dry room. Frequently spraying the plant with water close to room temperature can make the plant grow luxuriantly, with shiny green leaves, and more vitality.

How to grow round-leaf peperomia

Round-leaf peperomia is suitable for growing in temperatures between 20℃ and 30℃. Under this condition, keep the soil in the pot moist but not waterlogged. Pay attention to watering rather than too much to avoid root rot caused by waterlogging in the soil. It has a strong shade tolerance. Too strong direct sunlight is very detrimental to the growth of the plant. During the growth period of round-leaf peperomia, apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or special fertilizer for foliage plants every 2 to 3 weeks.

1. Soil

Round-leaf peperomia likes loose, breathable and well-drained soil, mainly leaf mold, peat soil, garden soil and river sand. These relatively loose and breathable soils can be added with an appropriate amount of base fertilizer according to the actual situation to enable it to grow more freely.

2. Watering

Round-leaf peperomia naturally prefers a warm and humid growing environment and cannot tolerate drought for too long. Once the water shortage exceeds the bottom line, they are bound to have problems such as poor growth and development.

3. Temperature

Peperomia has a very low tolerance for temperature. Under normal circumstances, the plant is afraid of both cold and heat. Therefore, if you want the plant to survive the summer and winter safely, you must control the room temperature at a maximum of no more than 35°C and not below 10°C.

Matters Needing Attention in the Care of Peperomia

When caring for round-leaf peperomia, you should pay attention to the fact that it will easily grow too tall if it is kept in a light-deficient environment for a long time. For potted plants that have already grown too tall, you can cut off the tall branches to remove the apical dominance of the round-leaf peperomia and promote more branching. The pruned branches can also be used for cuttings.
