Peperomia 'Buenos Aires'
Peperomia 'Buenos Aires' is a popular houseplant, appreciated for its decorative leaves and easy care.
Care:
-
Light: Prefers moderate to intense, but filtered light. Avoid direct exposure to the sun, which can burn its leaves. An ideal place would be next to a window facing east or west.
-
Watering: Watering should be done moderately. Allow the soil to partially dry between waterings. Peperomia does not tolerate excess water, so avoid letting water sit in the saucer of the pot.
-
Humidity: It benefits from high humidity, but it also does well in medium humidity conditions. Occasional spraying can help, especially in the winter months when the air in the rooms is dry.
-
Temperature: It develops well at temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid exposure to cold air currents or temperatures falling below 10°C.
-
Fertilization: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring-summer) with a diluted fertilizer, especially for houseplants.
-
Repotting: Repotting is done as needed, usually once every two years, to replace the soil and to allow the plant to develop.
Note: The leaves of this plant are very brittle and can break during transport or handling.
