Peperomia ‘Spice is Nice’

Description

If you’re looking to expand your plant palate, look no further than ‘Spice is Nice’ Peperomia. This baby rubber plant or pepper elder, has cupped, succulent leaves of glossy green, perched upon cinnamon-colored stems. Just like the perfect blend of seasoning in a well-loved recipe, ‘Spice is Nice’ adds warmth and character wherever it is displayed! This peperomia will maintain a compact stature, over time, but its upright stems do have the potential to develop a trailing 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.
