How to care for the newly bought Chinese evergreen

1. Watering

Peperomia likes moisture and is not drought-tolerant. After buying it home, you need to water it in time to keep the soil moist and avoid drought and dryness. But be careful not to water too much, as too much water will not be absorbed by the roots, causing waterlogging and damage to the roots.

2. Humidity

The humidity requirements of Chinese evergreen are relatively high. It does not like dryness. After buying it home, the humidity needs to be kept at around 70%. You can increase humidity by sprinkling water on the branches and leaves of the plant or around the potting soil to retain moisture.

3. Temperature

The temperature must be controlled well. For newly purchased Chinese evergreen, the surrounding temperature should be controlled between 20 and 30 degrees. This is the most suitable temperature for its growth and can enable it to adapt to the new environment faster.

4. Lighting

After buying it home, you should move the Chinese evergreen to a semi-shaded environment and expose it to appropriate scattered light to help it adapt to the new environment faster. However, it is necessary to avoid exposure to strong light, because the evergreen is now relatively fragile and can easily be sunburned if exposed to direct sunlight.
