Peperomia Cupid
The Peperomia Cupid is also known as Peperomia scandens ‘Variegata,’ comes with heart-shaped leaves that are very aesthetically pleasing and can be a great addition to your space.
The Peperomia Cupid is native to tropical regions such as the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. These plants usually cling to other large trees, which is why they look so delicate. But despite their delicate appearance, these plants are very resilient, and you do not have to be extra careful when caring for them.
LIGHT
Place your Peperomia Cupid in low to indirect light. Too little light can cause slow growth while too much light can burn the foliage.
WATER
Water your Peperomia when 50%-75% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY
Peperomias will tolerate average household humidity. However, like most tropical plants, they will benefit from added humidity. You can add humidity by placing a humidifier nearby, misting often, or using a pebble tray.
TEMPERATURE
Peperomias prefers average room temperatures between 65-75°F.
FOOD
Your Peperomia will benefit from regular fertilizing during the growing season. Feed once per month in the spring and summer months with general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.
TOXICITY
Peperomias are non-toxic to humans and pets.
ADDITIONAL CARE
Trailing peperomias can be easily propagated. If you want to multiply your plants or share with a friend, make a cut on a vine below a leaf node, and stick the stem into the water. The plant should respond by sending new shoots from the cut node. Roots will begin to develop after a few weeks. Once roots develop, transfer to soil and keep moist.
