Plant Care

Watering

Water once a week or when the soil starts to become slightly dry at the top. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering. Water in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler. Always check your soil before watering.

Light

Bright indoor light or indirect sun. 6 hours to 8 hours

Temperature

Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

Fertilizer

Apply liquid fertilizer once in 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results use Folikraft ready to use Indoor Plant Food.

Plant Bio

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, something I am fond of in Seattle. Not only are the leaves shaped like a water droplet, they are designed to store water, hence their thickness. This plant is also know as coin plant or coin-leaf peperomia and is commonly mistaken for the popular Chinese Money Plant (pilea peperomia).

TEMPERATURE: The ideal temperature for this plant is 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit which is pretty easy considering most houses stay in that range. She will put up with higher temperatures in summer but if that is the case then keep her in more shaded conditions. Avoid drafty windows and AC units.

LIGHT: There are a few options for placement when it comes to the Raindrop Peperomia. Avoid placement in direct sun as it can burn the leaves. Directly in the north facing windows will do as the light is not strong. East and west facing windows you can place it close to the window. West light can be really hot so keep an eye out for burning and shift it a little farther away if need be. Southern light is extremely strong so place it at least a few feet away from the window. Mine is about 6 feet from a southern window. If you live in a very dim place you can always look into grow lights. 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.

HUMIDITY: While misting isn't essential for Raindrop Peperomia to grow, it will be grateful. It helps recreate the hiumid environemnt its from and it prefers clean leaves.

WATER: As I explained earlier, 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. During the spring and summer I water mine once a week. In the winter I reduce watering to every 10 days. Water throroughly until its running out the bottom of the pot, make sure to dump the tray out so there is no standing water though. Signs of overwatering are: rotting stalks, yellowing or wilting leaves, water logged soil.
