Peperomia Nevada

The Peperomia Nevada (Peperomia ferreyrae) is a beautiful easy-care plant. Native to Central and South America, it grows to a compact 12 inches tall. It is often mistaken as a succulent due to the succulent-like leaves. The leaves reach 3 inches long and are lime green and tubular in shape.

Light: low light tolerant but prefers medium to bright indirect

Watering: water when the top of the soil is dry to the touch; moist but not soggy. Water slowly and evenly until water comes out of the drainage holes; discard excess to avoid root rot.

Humidity: average home to high humidity; enjoys a morning misting

Toxicity: non-toxic to cats, dogs and humans

Additional Care: This plant is very sensitive to root rot so be careful not to water too frequently. The succulent-like leaves do hold some water so it is somewhat drought tolerant. Thrives when pot bound.
