Best Locations For Growing Glabella Peperomia
This nontoxic gem can be placed safely in any room. Choose any area with bright, indirect light and moderate humidity.
Glabella Peperomia Sunlight Requirements
Glabella Peperomia does best in medium to bright, indirect light. Wherever you place your Glabella Peperomia, make sure that the light is not direct. Direct light can damage Glabella Peperomia’s leaves. As a result, this plant will do well in a north-facing or east-facing window. If your only option, however, is to place this lovely jewel in a room with south-facing and west-facing windows, do not fret. Simply place Glabella Peperomia a few feet away from the windows, protected from the direct sunlight, and it will still thrive.
Glabella Peperomia Care
Glabella Peperomia prefers a soil that drains well so choose a loamy potting soil amended with perlite.
Want your Glabella Peperomia to multiply? If you would like to generate more Glabella Peperomia plants, simply place 6-inch cuttings in water and wait for the roots to grow approximately one to two inches. Then, plant them in another pot of soil and wait for your new plants to grow.
As far as repotting is concerned? Since these plants are generally slow growing, the need to repot is not as frequent as with other plant varieties. If you notice, however, that your plant is becoming root-bound, choose a new pot that is one to two inches bigger than the older one, and repot. Your plant will continue to thrive.
Watering Glabella Peperomia
Depending on the humidity of Glabella Peperomia’s location, this plant may need to watered about one to two times per week; however, because Peperomias are susceptible to root rot, it is always wise to do a moisture check prior to watering. Stick your finger one to two inches down into the soil. If the soil is dry, then water again.
Feeding Glabella Peperomia
Glabella Peperomia should ideally be fertilized every 2 weeks with a balanced water-soluble formula.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
