Peperomia Caperata is a compact semi- succulent plant which does well in low light. Its beautiful deeply veined heart shaped leaves, red--purple in colour that adds to the attractiveness of the plant. Its compactness makes it ideal for small pots and can be nicely displayed on desk tops and shelves.
Definitely, one of the most beautiful plants in the Peperomia family!

This is such an informative video, I had no idea how to care for my peperomia and had it in an eastern-facing window and wasn't doing so great. Thank you for educating me on this beautiful plant, much appreciated!

I'm new with peperomias and your video provided life-saving information for my baby...she looks like a preemie right now, but I now feel equipped with the right steps to nurture her forward.🌱

Great Brenda, always remember to do the figure test before watering the plant. They don't like water sitting around their roots.

I recently purchased 2 peperomias and I have watched several videos this is the most thorough. Thank you!

I always get success rates with soil propagation with the Peperomia leaves.

Oh! Many thanks for such a nice video....⚘very well explained 💕. Can I ask u a doubt ? Can I plant my peperomia into a terracotta pot? Is it safe for those babies?

@redsoilgardener Жыл бұрын

Hi Lakshmi thanks for sharing. I personally prefer a shallow plastic container. The reason being is terracotta pots dry up quickly as they are porous and you would have to water more often especially during the hot season. With the plastic pot it retains the moisture so I can work a watering schedule. The pot should be small enough to fit your plant as it like to be compact and also the roots are shallow, so you don't need a deep pot.

Do you have any advice for root rot 😭 Mine has suffered greatly but the stem is still intact with a decent amount of leaves, just not many roots. I’ve let her dry out for a day now but I’m not too sure what the next step would be, I am very new and don’t know much about soil. I have fern soil but I don’t know if that’s well draining enough, or how long to stick her in there before watering etc… I feel so bad! she was stunning when I first brought her home but i’m very overzealous with my watering 😅

Peperomia don't like to have water around their roots. If that happens then they do get root rot. What you need to do after you dry it out, is to remove any rotten leaves and roots. The soil should be well drained. Pour water into the container and see if it drains through the drainage hole. Also you could add Perlite in the soil, as it is porous, which allows air flow and helps move the water through and out of the soil. Repot in new soil and water sparingly until it picks up.

Since it stays pretty clumped together, would you recommend even repoting it to a bigger pot?

@redsoilgardener 11 ай бұрын

This Peperomia actually grow from the center. Unless it has over grown its pot I would just trim the foliage at the base.

I have a few healthy leaves left but not with many stems left on them, can I propagate the same way you did here or should I cut the leaf in half and do it that way?

@redsoilgardener 8 ай бұрын

I find that doing a water or a soil propagation gives me better result. You could take two leaves with stem, place one stem in water and the other in soil. Keep them in a warm environment, with indirect light. Within a month you should get rooting. I have tried cutting the leaf but somehow I always ended up with rotting leaves. I suspect I over watered the soil. try the above and you can keep me posted.

Do you water the newly planted babies right after potting, or do you allow some time before the first watering?

@redsoilgardener 10 ай бұрын

Hi, I normally plant the babies in moist not soggy potting soil. Then as we go along I do the finger test. Peperomia dont like too much water. Overwatering and you could lose your plant to rot.

Hi I know you mentioned that the sunlight changed the color. If i want to keep the red color in my propogations do I keep it in low light?

@redsoilgardener Жыл бұрын

Hi, with the Peperomia Caperata avoid placing it in direct sunlight and your leaves will maintain its colour.

@@redsoilgardener Hi. Thank you for responding back. So since I last commented, some of the leaves have started turning green. I keep it out of direct light. Could you please help me out? Thank you

Hi Megan, I didn't understand your expression. The time taken for soil and water propagation to get rooting is roughly 6 weeks.

@redsoilgardener Жыл бұрын

Hi Lisa sorry for that. With Pepperomias' you have to let them dry out between feeds, then water. They don't want water around their roots. Did the leaf stem get soggy and fall out? Do you still have some leaves. If so take the surviving leaves and start a soil propagation.
