| Light Requirements | Place your Peperomia Polybotrya in a spot that receives a lot of bright indirect sunlight. But make sure the light source is not intense or you risk leaf burn! |
| Water Requirements | When watering Peperomia Polybotrya, you must remember that this plant has the ability to store water in its fleshy leaves. So, it doesn’t require that frequent watering, particularly not during the winter season when it is in its dormant state. |
| Soil Requirements | Though it can store water, Peperomia Polybotrya is not a full-fledged succulent. But it still need a proper level of drainage just like succulent plants do. Without a properly-draining soil mix, it can easily suffer from root rot. |
| Fertilizer Requirements | Because Peperomia Polybotrya has a slow growth rate, it also doesn’t require a lot of fertilizer. You can just use a normal liquid houseplant fertilizer when the plant is actively growing. But again, make sure not to feed it during winter days because it is in its dormant state. |
| Temperature Requirements | You can grow your Peperomia Polybotrya at normal room temperature. Just make sure that the temperature doesn’t drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| Humidity Requirements | Peperomia Polybotrya prefers cool and humid growing conditions. But the most important thing to remember when it comes to humidity requirements of most houseplants is that there should be proper ventilation. Otherwise, you’re inviting unwanted fungal infections and diseases. |
