The Peperomia Polybotrya, also known as the Raindrop Peperomia, has beautiful raindrop-shaped leaves. The Polybotrya is an evergreen perennial, making it a great long-term plant for you to fall in love with. It will grow in an upward stature to approx. 30cm in height. Its perfect leaf design lends itself to be a semi-succulent variety, as it retains water within its thick leaves, thus reducing the frequency that watering is required.
Habitat: For a bushier plant pinch tips through the spring and summer months to encourage additional shoots to form. Prefers to be kept in warmer temperatures, and away from draughts.
Light: Medium to bright, indirect light.
Water: Water from dry only. Leaf loss is a sign of over-watering.
Soil: Use a peat-based soil. Allow soil to dry out between waterings. Allow to drain.
Fertiliser: Is only required once a year, through its growing season.
