About to research how to take care of this plant...

But then I thought, hey... I'ma gonna ask @caccoon first 😶

(or anyone else here that knows stuff about plants) 😶

(I'm really bad with plants, but that's probably because I don't know much about them, lol)

Peperomia are nice and easy! I find with this type it likes to dry out a little between waterings so you don't get root rot. Bright light, but more like nice morning sun. If you get really hot sun, you may want to protect her from that. Misting in the evening would be appreciated ☺💙

@caccoon Oh dang, I have it in my room/office space and that's usually pretty dark (apart from my lamp and tank light) 😔

@caccoon Is watering once a week too much?

@Fishy I find that touching the soil is the best tell for watering time. I can say once a week by the humidity etc can be a factor! So when it feels dry, water ☺ if it feels damp, you can leave it for a few more days and check back

@caccoon Just one more dumb question....

not related to this plant specifically, but do you use or recommend water tests for your plants?
Because I dunno, different plants like different stuff and different nutrients?

@Fishy sorry just realized I forgot to reply to this!!

Sometimes I do do a TDS test on the runoff water of my plants, or a TDS test on the soil mixture (wet/muddy) before I prep for potting. Mostly just for my carnivorous ones though, which like a very low TDS.

Testing the pH of the water and soil can be very important, whether a plant like acidic or alkaline. Most of my plants like acidity so I just know if the TDS is low, then it will be acidic

I hope this helps!

@caccoon Nah, it's cool.
Trust me, I forget stuff all the time 😂😶

I've heard of plants being picky with pH before, but never heard of TDS.

Sounds super interesting tho, gonna look into it c:
