Peperomia Buenos Aires Bi-color

The Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor is a new addition to our store. This unique and attractive variety of Peperomia is known for its colorful foliage of green, yellow and red and compact growth habit.

Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may not exhibit its full potential in terms of growth and coloration.

Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Peperomias are sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly but ensure that excess water drains away from the pot.

Humidity: Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor prefers moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the plant, or using a humidifier.

Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C)

Soil: Use a well-draining, porous potting mix with good aeration. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and/or orchid bark works well for Peperomias.

Fertilization: Feed your Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant's health and appearance. You can also prune leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

Propagation: Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem below a node and place it in moist soil or water until roots develop.

Pests and diseases: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.

Potting: Repot your Peperomia Buenos Aires Bicolor when it outgrows its current pot or when the soil becomes compacted. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use fresh potting mix.

Size: 30cm, comes in regular nursery pot.
