🌿 Peperomia parallel (Peperomia puteolata) – Care Tips

Also known as Parallel Peperomia, this striking plant features deep green leaves with light green stripes that resemble watermelon rinds or leaf veins running in parallel — hence the name.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Tolerates medium light, but leaf color may fade

• Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch

💧 Watering

• Water when the top inch (2–3 cm) of soil feels dry

• Likes consistent moisture but dislikes soggy roots

• Water every 7–10 days, less in cooler months

• Bottom watering works well to avoid overwatering

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining mix – ideal: potting mix + perlite + orchid bark

• Pot must have good drainage to prevent root rot

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in 18–26°C (65–78°F)

• Prefers moderate humidity; tolerates typical indoor conditions

• Keep away from cold drafts or dry air (e.g., air cons or heaters)

🌸 Flowering

• May produce small spike-like blooms (greenish-white), but foliage is the star

• Flowers are not particularly showy

🌿 Growth Habit

• Upright, clumping growth

• Reaches about 20–30 cm tall

• Can be easily propagated via stem cuttings

🐾 Pet Safety

• Non-toxic to pets – safe around cats and dogs

Pro Tip: Rotate your plant weekly to maintain even, upright growth and prevent leaning. Avoid letting water sit on the leaves for too long to prevent spotting.
