Green Bean Peperomia Care
Green Bean is an easy semi-succulent houseplant. Use a cactus mix to ensure the plant is potted in well-drained soil. Like most semi-succulents, Green Bean Peperomia likes to be pot bound in a relatively small pot. Repot Green Bean Peperomia if the plant has been in the same soil for many seasons, or if the roots are protruding from the bottom of the pot. It is best to transplant Green Bean Peperomia when the plant is more dormant in the winter or early spring. Green Bean Peperomia can be pruned to keep the habit neat and tidy or to remove dead leaves or branches.
Watering Green Bean Peperomia
Green Bean Peperomia has finicky water needs; do not overwater or underwater this plant. Water regularly once a week allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Green Bean Peperomia likes regular humidity throughout the year.
Feeding Green Bean Peperomia
Green Bean Peperomia does not require fertilizer but will benefit from a light feeding of a balanced formula once or twice a month. Do not fertilize during the winter when growth is slower.

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.
