Give your Piper Parmatum plenty of bright, indirect light to support strong growth and vibrant colours. Pipers prefer their soil to stay lightly and consistently moist, but don’t like soggy conditions! Water when the top layer of soil starts to feel dry. During spring and summer, feed your Piper with a balanced houseplant fertiliser every two weeks to support strong new growth and those impressive leaves. Pipers appreciate higher humidity, so aim for 60% or higher where possible, with good airflow around the leaves. Only repot when your plant becomes root-bound, moving up to a pot around 3 cm wider in diameter. Always use a well-draining soil mix that holds some moisture without staying wet, in a pot with drainage holes to keep its roots happy.
