Peperomia Scadens 4”

Peperomia scandens brings a soft, trailing silhouette to an indoor collection, with heart-shaped leaves carried along slender stems. Its gently cascading growth makes it a natural choice for a hanging planter or shelf, where the foliage has room to spill over the edge.

With fleshy leaves that hold moisture, this peperomia appreciates a light touch with watering and an airy potting mix.

Care

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Protect from strong, direct afternoon sun.
• Water: Allow the upper portion of the potting mix to dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and let excess drain. Avoid keeping the roots consistently wet.
• Potting mix: Use a loose, well-draining houseplant mix amended with perlite or fine orchid bark.
• Temperature: Keep in a warm indoor spot, away from cold drafts and heating vents.
• Humidity: Typical household humidity is generally suitable.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer at a diluted strength during active growth, following the product label.
• Maintenance: Pinch back long stems to encourage fuller growth.
