For care tips:

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, insufficient light may reduce the vibrancy of its colors.

 

Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the pot has good drainage.

 

Humidity: This plant prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to average household levels. If the air is too dry, occasional misting can help.

 

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

 

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend designed for succulents or a general houseplant mix with added perlite for improved drainage.

 

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

 

Repotting: Repot every couple of years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time for repotting.

 

By following these care tips, you can help your Peperomia 'Orange Metallica Variegated' thrive and showcase its beautiful foliage.
