Peperomia polybotrya ‘Raindrop’

An easy to grow houseplant which stores water in its thick stems and leaves making it comfortable with a bit of neglect. This variety has large, rain drop shaped leaves.

Please note, the planter is not included.

Watering

Water regularly during warmer months but allow the soil to dry out between each watering and make sure the roots are never sitting in water for a prolonged period. Water less frequently during colder months.

Light requirements 

Requires several hours of direct sun per day. Make sure the plant is close to a bright window, especially during winter months. A lack of light can lead to leggy stems / low growth rate / loss of leaves.

Care tips

• Avoid placing the planter next to radiators or draughty windows
• Carefully wipe the leaves from time-to-time to remove any dust
• Prune out any brown leaves or stems by cutting as close to the next stem or the base of the plant as possible
• Use some fertiliser during warmer months i.e. April to September (little and often is best for consistent growth)
