Care tips:

• Light: Peperomia scandens variegata prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
• Water: Water the plant regularly, but be careful not to overwater. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Humidity: Peperomia scandens variegata prefers moderate to high humidity. You can mist the plant regularly to increase humidity, or place it on a pebble tray filled with water.
• Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Repotting: Repot the plant every spring or summer, or when it becomes rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Propagation:

Peperomia scandens variegata can be propagated by stem cuttings or by division. To propagate by stem cuttings, simply cut a healthy stem from the plant and place it in a jar of water. Once the roots have developed, transplant the cutting into a pot filled with potting mix. To propagate by division, remove the plant from its pot and carefully divide the roots into two or more sections. Plant each section in its own pot and water well.

Common pests and diseases:

Peperomia scandens variegata is relatively resistant to pests and diseases, but it can be susceptible to mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites. If you see any pests on your plant, treat them immediately with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
