Peperomia incana, commonly known as felted pepperface, is a compact, evergreen perennial appreciated for its distinctive foliage. The plant features thick, heart-shaped leaves covered in fine, white hairs, giving them a soft, velvety texture. This adaptation helps the plant conserve moisture. Typically, Peperomia incana reaches a height of 20 to 30 cm.
Native to:
Peperomia incana is native to Brazil, where it thrives in warm, humid environments.
Water:
This is a succulent type Peperomia. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to ensure the pot has adequate drainage. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency to align with the plant's slower growth rate.
Light:
Peperomia incana thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If placed in a shadier spot, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.
Humidity:
This plant is tolerant of average indoor humidity levels and does not require additional humidity. Avoid misting the leaves, as the fine hairs can trap moisture, potentially leading to fungal issues.
Temperature:
Peperomia incana prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as exposure to temperatures below 15°C can cause leaf drop and hinder growth.
