How to Care for Your Peperomia 'Marble'

Place your Marble Peperomia in a well-lit area with plenty of filtered light to enhance its creamy variegation. Use a lightweight, well-draining soil mix — a blend of standard potting soil with perlite or cactus mix works well. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry, and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

This plant prefers average indoor humidity and thrives in typical home temperatures. Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy new growth.

Its compact form makes it ideal for shelves, desks, or clustered with other small houseplants in a curated display.
