Peperomia polybotrya -Raindrop
$10.00
The Raindrop Peperomia, scientifically known as Peperomia Polybotrya, is an easy-to-care-for, charming houseplant known for its fat, thick, shiny leaves that look like a raindrop rolling down your window. Not only are the leaves shaped like a water droplet, they are designed to store water, hence their thickness.
Our Peperomia Raindrops are double planted and come in a 12cm nursery pot.
Watering- the leaves store water so overwatering is a big no. Let the soil dry before watering again. If you are unsure, stick your finger in the soil and make sure the top 1-2 inches are dry.
Feeding- Once a month during the growing season fertilize your Peperomia. In winters you should not fertilize.
Lighting- Peperomia Raindrops thrive in bright indirect light. Avoid placement in direct sun as it can burn the leaves. If your plant is not getting enough light it will start stretching toward the light and become leggy. Shift it closer to a window and if its looks are bothering you, you can prune it.
