Peperomia Raindrop Care Guide

Light

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch its leaves.

💧 Watering 

Water when the top 23cm of soil feels dry. The Raindrop stores a bit of moisture in its thick leaves, so it's more forgiving if you miss a watering. Overwatering is the main thing to avoid.

🌡 Temperature & Humidity

It prefers warm indoor conditions between 1826°C. Average household humidity is usually fine, though a little extra humidity keeps it looking lush.

🪴 Soil & Repotting

For strong roots, use our premixed Aroid Mix or make your own with Barks Unlimited Potting Soil and Perlite. Add Bark Chips if repotting, as they improve aeration. This is a slow grower, so it doesn't need frequent repotting every 23 years is plenty.

🍃 Fertiliser 

A light feed every 46 weeks in spring and summer with Controlled Release Fertiliser or a mild Organic Fertiliser will keep it healthy and glossy.

🐛 Pests

Usually trouble-free, though mealybugs may appear. Treat with an insecticidal spray if needed.

The Peperomia Raindrop is easy to care for, compact, and cheerful a great choice if you want something attractive but fuss-free.
