Peperomia San Marino
Sporting tear-drop shaped leaves with deep puckering ripples, Peperomia San Marino really stands out. Because of their succulent-like stems, these plants tend to be droopy drama queens when overwatered, but will quickly perk back up once their soil dries out. With colours varying from greens, to reds and silvery-whites, you can always fit a Peperomia into your style.

Plants with medium or moderate water needs should be watered once or twice a week. They need moist soil throughout the growing season for optimum growth and flowering. Water these plants when the soil is dry to touch.

Plant Care
With corrugated leaves in a variety of colours, from reds to greens, Peperomia San Marino are a standout houseplant. Due to their succulent-like leaves it is important to not overwater your Peperomia, as it may cause the leaves to wilt. Keep your plant in bright indirect light, avoiding full sun. When repotting, we recommend using our All Purpose soil.
