Peperomy. Care, cultivation, transplantation.

Peperomy belongs to the Pepper family. It can be both perennial and annual plants, and also they can be evergreen, grassy, epiphytes and rocky plants. The homeland of many species of peperomy is the tropical regions of South America. But despite the great variety of plant species, peperomy, care for them is almost the same.

Peperomies have thick stems that are lagging, creeping or erect. The leaves are as fleshy as the stems. The flowers of the pepermia are collected in plain-looking inflorescences, similar to mouse tails, only stuck to the ground with a thin end. Fruits of peperomies are very small red balls located on the surface of the inflorescence. Flowering and fruiting in peperiums continues throughout the year, but it does not add much beauty to the plant. The most beautiful part of the plant is the leaves. They are shiny, as if varnished. Fruits fall off at the slightest touch.

About 50 species are cultivated as indoor plants. Let's try to list some of them: pyelopterygia, pyperomia mulled, peperomy, corpuscular, peperomy tender, hyperpericum pepermia, spotted pyperomy, phaser feather, silvery pyperomy.

The best windows for placing the pyperomies are eastern or western. Pepermia does not like direct sunlight, but if you still have it on the southern window, then it should be pritenyat. In strong light, the leaves of the pyromania begin to wrinkle and fade. Peperomy with a dark green color of the leaves is superbly tolerated by shading, but plants with variegated coloring will require much more lighting in order to preserve their color. With lack of light variegation can disappear, and the leaves will become just green.

Peperomy care in winter

Peperomies do not have a state of winter rest and therefore the plant needs illumination in the winter season. With artificial lighting, this plant grows well and can only manage them.

The temperature at which the pyperomy feels best is 20 - 22 degrees in summer and 18 - 20 degrees in winter. When growing peperomy, it is worth recalling that the plant most of all does not like this plant. The plant does not tolerate drafts, and for this reason, even in the warm season it is not applied to a balcony or terrace. And also the plant does not tolerate the cooling of the roots. Therefore, it is better not to put it on cold window sills in winter.

The watering of the peperium continues throughout the year. In spring and summer, watering is needed abundantly, and in winter - moderate. The top layer of the soil should always dry out, with all the com is slightly damp. Peperomies do not equally like overflow, as well as over-drying. In the first case, the roots of the plant begin to rot, and in the second, the leaves will fall off. Low-growth and small-leaved species of pyperomy are watered evenly throughout the year, except in winter. And species with thick and fleshy leaves can tolerate the drying of the earth's coma for quite some time. Peperomy can be sprayed from time to time. Feed the plant throughout the year with complex fertilizers: in spring and summer - twice a month, and in winter - once a month.

Does not require particularly complex peperomy care. It is not whimsical to the ground, but small-leaved species grow better in light, air-permeable soils.

Peperomy: care and transplant

In the first years of life, the plant is transplanted once a year, and then every two years. Pots for transplantation are wide and shallow. Also, the plant is transplanted, if it stopped growing, or roots appeared in the drainage hole. Soil for transplantation is better to take a weakly acid. A suitable universal ground flower "Terra Vita". Peperomies are suitable for hydroponic growing.
