Green Gold Peperomia

The Peperomia plant is a smart choice for beginner houseplant enthusiasts. Not only are they forgiving plants that tolerate some benign neglect, but also the spectacular variety of colors and textures available within the species means that you can amass an interesting collection of plants for every style and space, all of which require the same care.

Light: The Peperomia needs low to medium, indirect light. She can tolerate partial shade and will even grow under fluorescent lights. Avoid direct sunlight as it can burn the leaves.

Watering: Water when the top several inches of soil are dry, about every other week. Water with fresh water lightly and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to the roots, then tip out any excess water. Keep the leaves dry.

This plant is pet-friendly.
