Light: Pilea peperomioides prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, as it can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window where it receives filtered sunlight is ideal. However, it can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth may slow down.
 
Temperature: Keep Pilea peperomioides in average to warm room temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C) year-round. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
 
Watering: Water Pilea peperomioides moderately, allowing the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings. Stick your finger into the soil to check for moisture levels. Water more sparingly in winter when growth slows down. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.
 
Soil: Plant Pilea peperomioides in a well-draining potting mix. A mix formulated for succulents or a general-purpose houseplant mix with added perlite or sand for better drainage works well.
 
Humidity: Pilea peperomioides prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. Mist the plant occasionally or place a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot to increase humidity around the plant.
 
Fertilizing: Feed Pilea peperomioides monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding or stop altogether in autumn and winter when growth slows down.
 
Potting and Repotting: Repot Pilea peperomioides every 1-2 years in spring if it has outgrown its pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes to accommodate its root system. Use fresh potting mix and handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its shallow roots.
 
Pruning: Prune Pilea peperomioides as needed to maintain its shape and remove any yellowed or damaged leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make cuts close to the base of the stem.
