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.
