Care Guide

Light:
- Pepperomia obtusifolia ‘Tricolor’ prefers bright, indirect light.
- Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, especially the variegated portions.

- If you notice the colors fading, it might need more light.
Watering:
- Allow the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings.
- Overwatering is a common problem and can lead to root rot.
- Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry.
- Reduce watering during the winter months.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a succulent or cactus mix.
- This helps prevent waterlogging.

Humidity:
- While it appreciates moderate humidity, it can tolerate average household humidity.

  - Placing a humidifier nearby.

Fertilizing:
- Feed the plant with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Avoid fertilizing during the winter.
Repotting:
