The striking colours are also set off by the striped texture along each leaf, making this a popular choice for a standout houseplant. Like most peperomias, this is a semi-succulent which stores its water in its leaves; with the perfect spot and not-too-frequent watering, this plant will flourish and give you eye-catching leaves in beautiful bright colours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLikes bright, indirect light; will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun in autumn and winter.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThoroughly water once the top third of the soil has dried out; make sure you don't leave the plant itself wet as this can cause it to rot.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThrives in higher humidity, so will appreciate a humidity tray or more frequent misting.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse a dense, well-draining mix.
