Care Guide for Peperomia Bicolour

Light:
Peperomia obtusifolia Obtipan Bicolor prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight may cause the variegation to fade or burn the leaves, while low light conditions may slow its growth. A spot near a bright window with filtered light is ideal.

Humidity:
This plant enjoys moderate humidity levels but is tolerant of typical household conditions. Higher humidity will further support its health and growth in a terrarium or vivarium.

Temperature:
Keep Variegated Peperomia in temperatures ranging from 18-24°C. Protect it from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes to prevent stress.

Watering:
Water when the top 2 cm of soil dries out. Peperomias prefer to stay on the drier side, so be careful not to overwater. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, and ensure the plant is in well-draining soil to avoid root rot.

Troubleshooting

1. Yellowing Leaves:
   This is often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil is drying out between waterings, and avoid letting the plant sit in soggy soil.
2. Leaf Drop:
   Sudden changes in temperature, especially cold drafts, can cause Peperomia to drop its leaves. Keep it in a stable environment away from direct heat sources or cold air.
3. Faded Variegation:
   If the colours on the leaves are fading, it may be due to insufficient light. Move the plant to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant pinky-red edges.
4. Root Rot:
   Overwatering and poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the plant is in well-draining soil and the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.
