Mini Parallel

Plant Name
Peperomia puteolata

Peperomia puteolata is commonly known as the parallel peperomia and has a similarity with watermelon peperomia in terms of the leaf pattern resembling the rind of a watermelon.

More or less 7" height.

Native to South America, the Peperomia puteolata is a perennial plant species found covering forest grounds with its quick spreading nature. Although its growth habit is upright it’s also slightly trailing in nature. Patterned leaves rather than the non-showy flowers produced is their attractive feature.

It's important to note that each plant is unique and may vary from the one depicted in the photo.

PLANT CARE

SUNLIGHT:
This peperomia requires bright indirect light without direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves. Not enough light, growth will be lacking.

WATER:
Water your plants once every 10-15 days using the provided water dropper included in each plant box. Apply 5 full droppers of water close to the stem, allowing the water to penetrate through the pebbles to reach the roots. There's no need to remove the pebbles. Peperomias are semi-succulent in nature which makes overwatering a big problem, but they do need more watering than many succulents. When lacking water the plant will just wilt, which is easy to resolve. Prone to overwatering

ADDITIONAL CARE:
The plant box is designed to serve as a planter, so the plants do not need to be removed until they outgrow the box. After a few months, when you notice that your plants have grown out of the box, it’s time to transfer them to a pot with a drainage system. To remove the plants from the box, simply soak the pebbles in water for 10 minutes until the pebbles are loose and can be easily removed. The proper soil to use would be a succulent or cactus mix.
