Process :
1. Peperomia Houseplants grow well in the bright indirect light provided by a west or east-facing window.
2. Use a well-aerated loose potting soil that drains well.
3. Allow the top 50% of the soil to dry out before you water. Over-watering, resulting in root-rot, is the main cause of serious peperomia plant problems.
4. Fertilize peperomia houseplants monthly in the spring and summer with a basic houseplant food.
5. Peperomia plants can be pruned anywhere along the stem. New growth develops from the nodes just below the cut in the stem.
