Native to: This Peperomia is native to the tropical forests of Panama, where it thrives in humid and shaded environments.

Water: Water your Peperomia thoroughly, allowing the top 2 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, which Peperomia species are prone to if left in soggy soil. In a terrarium, it may require less frequent watering due to the humid environment.

Humidity: High humidity levels between 60% and 90% are ideal for this Peperomia. Use a humidifier or a pebble tray with water to maintain the necessary moisture levels, especially in drier indoor environments. In a closed terrarium, the natural humidity should be sufficient.

Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 18C to 26C for optimal growth. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15C, as it is sensitive to cold and prefers the warmth of its native tropical habitat.
