Notes on the use of soil for Peperomia

Although we have talked about how to choose the soil for Peperomia, you still need to pay attention to some taboos when matching the soil.

First of all, Chinese evergreen is not suitable for growing in clay, because the air permeability and drainage of clay are very poor, so when choosing soil, it is best to match it with some soil with good air permeability.

Secondly, when preparing the soil, in order to maintain good fertility of the soil, you can add appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer to the soil as base fertilizer.

Finally, the prepared soil needs to be kept moist. The moisture content of the soil should be between 40% and 60%. Don't add too much moisture.
