Peperomia Depressa care guide

Light Requirements:

Pilea's do well in medium to bright light so there are number of spots in the house where they can grow.  As long as it doesn't get direct sunlight then it will be fine. 

Watering needs:

Pilea Depressa 's prefer consistently moist soil, but it's essential not to overwater them. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist without allowing it to become waterlogged. Check the soil moisture regularly and water when the top inch feels slightly dry. 

Humidity requirements:

They can tolerate normal humidity in the house, but they do prefer a higher humidity, so they will appreciate a misting whenever you have a chance.

Fertilizing:

As with all plants, fertilizing is very important. These guys will enjoy being fertlized at least every two weeks with a general liquid fertlizer, or a water soluble fertlizer like Multi Booster  or Grobest

Soil:

These plants generally don't need to be repotted out quite often. They require a well draining soil mixture that has good moisture retention.
Try and only use a premium potting mix such as the Gromor Potting Soil and but also add in Perlite that will assist with good drainage, plus peat moss and coir husks that will hold in some moisture.

Nice to know:

Pilea's are easy to propagate. Simply take stem cuttings with a few leaves and place them in moist soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until new growth appears.
