The Peperomia Caperata is traditionally found in the rainforests of Brazil, meaning that in the home they would be best suited to similar conditions - high(er) humidity and a warm and cozy environment. Tropical Plants like the Emerald Ripple typically sit nestled under the canopy of trees in rainforests where direct light is mostly blocked. Peperomia Caperata would therefore prefer areas that get lots of indirect light. Caperata are very tolerant plants when it comes to your watering regiment and more easily killed from over-watering than from forgetfulness to water. A sign of too much water will be black or mushy stems and drooping leaves which are direct consequences of soggy soil. Make sure to water sparingly when the top few inches of soil are fully dried out and keep your peperomia in a pot with proper drainage for the best results.
