Peperomia ‘Salt and Pepper’

Description

This peperomia is sure to put a little salt and pep in your step! It is an upright peperomia, with cupped, succulent green leaves that look as if they were seasoned with salty-white variegation. Like other plants in the Pepper Elder family, ‘Salt and Pepper’ is adaptable to varying light & humidity levels; it does, however, prefer to dry out in between waterings. Growing to a maximum height of 8-12 inches tall, ‘Salt and Pepper’ is the perfect companion for spicing up even the littlest of spaces! Over time, it may develop a lovely trailing or spilling habit.

• For optimal performance, keep your Peperomia at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Peperomias prefer to be grown in medium to bright, indirect light. They may tolerate lower light, but will not grow as fast or have variegation that is as vivid. Direct sunlight can lead to leaf scorch.
• If your Peperomia is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for more light. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even light distribution, and even growth.
• Peperomias aren’t all that fussy when it comes to humidity, but varieties with thinner, less succulent leaves may benefit from higher humidity.
• This succulent-like Peperomia prefers to dry out in between waterings. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry.
