Care Tips:
Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the variegation is more pronounced with sufficient light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as Peperomia Giny is susceptible to root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage.

Thrives in average household humidity. If the air is too dry, consider occasional misting or placing a humidity tray nearby.

Prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Fertilizing:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
Pruning:
Prune occasionally to maintain the desired shape and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Pinching back the stems can encourage bushier growth.
Propagation:
Easily propagated through stem or leaf cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or a moist potting mix until they develop roots.
Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
