How do I fertilize Peperomia Puteolata?
Indoor houseplant fertilizers fall into two groups: water soluble (liquid quick release), and granular, slow release fertilizers. Jack's Classic Indoor plant food works well as a powder, quick release fertilizer that is mixed with water. The fertilizer provides nutrients to a plant that has been in a container for an extended time. On the other hand Osmocote Indoor/Outdoor is an option as a granular, slow release fertilizer that can be applied while potting and planting. Any type of fertilizer offers nutrients that help plants with the transition to a new environment.

What Is The Best Soil For Peperomia Puteolata?
Houseplants tend to want a well balanced mix of peat moss, perlite and vermiculite. Typically, any reputable potting mix will work well and includes those ingredients. Although, adding a slow release fertilizer while planting is a good way to help the plant thrive in the transplanting transition. However, if the soil you've chosen already has fertilizer, there will be no need to add.

How Do I Water Peperomia Puteolata?
The Peperomia Puteolata should be watered relatively infrequently, as the plants like to dry out some between watering. The easiest way to tell if a plant needs to be watered is by the weight of the container. Sometimes, water pours out of the container without being retained by the soil. Soaking the dry soil in a small dish or saucer can be a useful way to solve this problem. It is important not to water the foliage of these plants, or to over-water them. Over watering will lead to leaf damage or plant death.
