Brightness: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Optimal Location: Ideal for east or north-facing windows. Can tolerate low light, but growth may slow.
Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Typically, this means watering every 1-2 weeks.
Method: Ensure even moisture; avoid letting the plant sit in water. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Level: Thrives in average household humidity but appreciates higher humidity levels.
Enhancement: Consider using a humidity tray or misting if the air is particularly dry.
Range: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Protection: Keep away from drafts, heating vents, or cold windows.
Type: Use a well-draining potting mix. A combination of potting soil, perlite, and sand works well.
Drainage: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
Schedule: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Dormancy: Reduce or stop fertilization in fall and winter.
Need: Minimal pruning required. Trim any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.
Technique: Use clean, sharp scissors to prevent damage to the plant.
Frequency: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
Timing: Spring is an ideal time for repotting.
Common Issues: Watch for mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly.
Symptoms: Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering, while drooping leaves can signify underwatering.
By following these care instructions, your Peperomia Frost will thrive and enhance your indoor space with its attractive foliage.
