Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light brings out the best leaf texture and rich emerald tones. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch foliage.
Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root problems; reduce frequency in cooler, low-light months.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Blends with perlite or orchid bark improve aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Prefers typical indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient, though slightly higher humidity can enhance leaf vibrancy.
Pet Safety
Emerald Ripple Peperomia is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Although pet safe, it’s best to keep the plant out of reach to prevent chewing or accidental ingestion, which could cause mild digestive upset.
With its distinctive textured foliage and approachable care needs, Emerald Ripple Peperomia offers standout style and effortless charm for any indoor plant collection.
