Peperomia Frost For Sale, Care Guide & Growing Tips

Enjoys medium to bright indirect light.

Allow 50% of the top soil dry out between waterings. Use filtered, bottled, or tap water sitting 24 hours to release the chemicals and water enough that the water discharges out of the drainage holes. Once the water is fully drained, replace them into the cache or decorative pot. Bottom water this plant as the leaves create a mound and make them hard to water and reach the soil overhead.

Enjoys medium to high humidity. Do not mist the foliage but add a pebble tray and cover them with a vented garden cloche dome.

Keep this plant in rooms where the temperature is a comfortable 65°F-75°F and avoid cold drafts or air vents below 60°F. They thrive in warmer and humid temperatures with plenty of humidity.

Outside: Keep them in full shade on a patio out of direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn where nights are above 65°F.

Apply at half-strength a balanced, liquid fertilizer specially formulated for indoor plants during the growing season and let them rest in the winter.

When receiving the Peperomia Frost plant, do not repot immediately but wait at least 6-12 months or if the roots are beginning to get crowded and growing through the drainage holes. Repot in the spring, using a 2 inches bigger pot to keep the roots drier. (Too big of a planter could cause the soil to dry slower.) Place a piece of screening at the bottom of the container over the drainage hole to secure the soil and allow to drain. Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite to help with drainage. Water your plant in the old pot before transferring over and let sit an hour. Add a combination of 1/2 potting mix and 1/2 succulent and cactus mix to the bottom to elevate the root ball. Lift the plant and release the roots against the existing planter. Use a clean knife or garden trowel to wedge between the pot and the soil to loosen. Inspect the root ball. Notice if there are any dead or rotting roots and trim off with sterile pruners. If the plant is rootbound, cut through the roots to alleviate continued encircling. Ensure the plant is sitting about 1 inch below the edge of the pot to avoid water spillage. Add more soil mix and backfill around the sides by tamping down. Fill up to the soil line but not over. Water thoroughly, leaving the soil damp but not soggy. If settling occurs, add more soil. Water well to dampen the soil and let drain.

When watering your Peperomia Frost plant, it is an excellent time to trim off any browning, yellowing, or discolored leaves. When pruning, use clean, sharp pruners. Remove any debris from the soil and replenish if needed. To clean debris and dust off the leaves: Use a small makeup brush to dust the leaves delicately. Avoid showering the leaves to avoid rotting the center mound.

To propagate this plant during the growing season: Take a 2-3 inch stem cutting in the early spring. Place the stem in a glass jar and fill it with filtered water and watch the roots grow! Replace and freshen the water each week. After the roots are six weeks old, add the cuttings to moistened potting soil, continue to water, and give them the bright, indirect lighting requirements. Cover them with a clear plastic bag or a vented garden cloche dome to provide humidity. To propagate this plant by division during the growing season: Water your plant the night before dividing. Inspect your plant for overcrowding. If they is root-bound in the pot, loosen the dirt around the root clump and brush away the soil. Begin to tease and pull apart the mass of roots. Divide each clump into their pot, measuring 2 inches wider than the root mass and deep enough for their roots to grow. Plant in well-draining potting mix amended with rooting hormone. Adding a rooting hormone during planting will help diminish the symptoms of transplant shock. Place the plant at the same level as the previous pot adding soil at the bottom. Water the soil and add more if settling occurs. Set them in medium, indirect sunlight. Check the moisture and humidity each day and add misting to keep the soil moist while the roots establish. After 6-8 weeks, roots will begin to develop. You can tug onto the stem to ensure the roots are anchoring well. Keep the air humid around them with a pebble tray and misting. Some die off of stems may occur from transplant shock. If this happens, cut the branches away and continue to hydrate, and keep the humidity level at a medium level while they recover. Adding a rooting hormone during planting will help diminish the symptoms of transplant shock.
