Peperomia are very popular for indoor plantings and are well suited for indoor gardens and terrariums. Peperomia are able to survive well under low light making it idea for indoor and terrarium use. They are fast growing so will require regular cutting back and can be to kept small and compact for long periods; they will also do very well in small pots.
Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix should be allowed to almost dry between watering's. Keep in a bright well lit area or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and drafty positions. Fertilizer should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertilizer will keep plants shorter and more compact.
Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c growth will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact.
Long periods below 12c may cause plants to rot; dead leaves must be removed to prevent damage to healthy growth. Keep on the dry side in winter.
