She’s compact, textured, and full of personality—Peperomia Deppeana ‘Bowl’ is like a little green sculpture on your shelf.

Caring for Your Little Bowl:
Light: Bright, indirect light is her happy place. Low light slows growth; too much direct sun? She’ll sulk with scorched edges.
Water: Let the top 1–2 cm of soil dry before watering. She likes a gentle sip, not a swampy footbath.
Humidity: Moderate humidity is ideal. A little misting now and then keeps her leaves perky.
Soil: Well-draining, airy soil is key. Mix in some perlite for extra drainage and happy roots.
Temperature: Comfortable in 18–26°C. Protect her from drafts—she likes cozy, stable conditions.
Fertilizer: Feed lightly during her growing season. She’s low-maintenance and doesn’t demand a feast.
Pruning & Cleaning: Remove any yellowing leaves to keep her tidy and show off her textured rosette.
Potting: Small to medium pots with good drainage are perfect. Repot every 1–2 years if she starts feeling crowded.
Reptile-Friendly and Chill: Good news for critter enthusiasts—Peperomia Deppeana ‘Bowl’ is generally safe for reptiles, cats, and dogs. Her leaves are sturdy yet non-toxic, making her ideal for gecko-friendly terrariums or pet-safe indoor plant corners. She’s happy to sit quietly while your little companions explore nearby.
Why You’ll Love Her: Peperomia Deppeana ‘Bowl’ is a tiny, textured showstopper that adds structure, charm, and subtle drama to any setup. Perfect for plant lovers who enjoy miniature statement plants with personality, she’s fuss-free, critter-friendly, and endlessly cute—a little bowl of leafy perfection for your indoor jungle.
