Care Guide
Care Guide for Napoli Nights Peperomia. Lighting: Place in bright, indirect light for best color. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate silvery leaves. Watering: Allow the top 50-75% of soil to dry out before watering again. Peperomias store water in their fleshy leaves, making them sensitive to overwatering and root rot. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one with added perlite or orchid bark. Temperature: Maintain a range between 65°F and 80°F. Seasonal Tips: In winter, reduce watering as growth slows. Common Issues: Watch for mealybugs in the leaf axils and yellowing leaves which typically indicate excess moisture.
