Caring for your Peperomia caperata 'Chocolat'

Water when the top few inches of  soil begins to feel dry.    Place in bright, indirect light but  avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the leaves.  Ideally, the Peperomia 'Chocolat' would like a humid environment and would therefore thrive in a bathroom or kitchen.  They are however tolerant of lower humidity levels.  All in all these delightful plants are easy to care and relatively forgiving, making them the perfect plant for your home or office.
