Exposure & placement

These two indoor plants appreciate soft and indirect light. Too much sun could burn their leaves, while a lack of light would slow their growth.

• Exposure: partial shade to bright indirect light.
• Ideal: on a table, a shelf, or a window sill facing east or north.
• Temperature: between 18 and 26 °C, protected from drafts.
• Humidity: normal, suitable for indoor life.

Verdeia tip: place them near a source of natural but filtered light, like behind a sheer curtain, to keep dense and colorful foliage.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings.
• Drainage: essential; mix of light and well-aerated soil (green plant soil + perlite).
• Fertilizer: every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer, with a mild liquid fertilizer.
• Care: regularly dust the leaves with a soft, damp cloth.

In winter, space out waterings and keep them in a bright place to avoid yellowing leaves.

Decor ideas & plant combinations

This plant duo offers a balanced visual contrast: the soothing roundness of the Pilea and the sophisticated reddish reflections of the Peperomia Rosso. Together, they create a harmonious and contemporary composition.

• To combine with: Fittonia, Syngonium, or Calathea to enrich your indoor mini jungle.
• Ideal pot: matching duo of matte ceramic or natural fiber pots.
• Ambiance: perfect for a bright living room, a cozy bedroom, or a stylish office corner.

Place them side by side or on two levels to play with foliage volumes and textures.

Verdeia tips

• Always water with room temperature, low-calcium water.
• Avoid overwatering, especially for Peperomia, which is sensitive to waterlogged roots.
• Rotate the Pilea regularly so its leaves stay symmetrical.
• Lightly mist the Peperomia during dry periods to preserve leaf texture.
• Place them together to create a calming and elegant focal point.

This balanced duo between round and veined foliage embodies the natural elegance of urban interiors and integrates easily into any decor.
