"Peperomia meridana" doesn't exist in standard horticulture. You likely have Peperomia obtusifolia (baby rubber plant) or a similar cultivar. Search "Peperomia images" to match your plant—thick, glossy, spoon-shaped leaves on sturdy stems.
| Factor | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright indirect; east/west window. Tolerates lower light but grows slower. |
| Water | Let top 50% of soil dry between waterings. Succulent-like leaves store water—overwatering causes rot. |
| Soil | Light, airy mix: 2 parts peat/coir, 1 part perlite, 1 part orchid bark. |
| Humidity | Average home humidity fine; 40–50% ideal. No misting needed. |
| Repotting | Every 2–3 years, only when roots circle pot. Go up 1 size max. Shallow roots prefer wide, shallow pots. |
| Fertilizer | Monthly at ¼ strength (balanced) in spring/summer. None in winter. |
| Pests | Mealybugs (cottony clusters in leaf axils). Treat with alcohol swabs or neem oil. |
| Propagation | Leaf cuttings (with petiole) or stem cuttings in water or moist mix. |
