Peperomia Owl Eye brings glossy, rounded, raindrop-like green leaves to a desk or bright shelf. Its tidy growth gives a small space a lush look without needing a large floor planter. Leaf size and exact shape vary from plant to plant.
Points of interest and size
- One live Peperomia Owl Eye in a 4-inch nursery grow pot, listed at approximately 6 inches tall when shipped; actual height, fullness, and leaf count vary.
- With suitable care, it can become a fuller tabletop plant, generally staying compact rather than growing into a tall tree. Mature size is not the shipping size.

Care guide
- Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Gentle morning sun may suit an acclimated plant; protect from harsh afternoon sun.
- Water: Allow the upper part of the mix to dry between thorough waterings, then drain excess. Check the soil instead of watering on a fixed schedule; thick leaves can store some moisture, while constantly wet roots are vulnerable to rot.
- Soil: Use an airy, well-draining houseplant mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Add perlite as needed to keep the mix airy and well-draining.
- Humidity and temperature: Average indoor humidity is usually suitable. Keep warm and away from cold drafts or hot, drying vents.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove damaged leaves and trim leggy stems with clean scissors to encourage a tidy shape.
- Repotting: When roots crowd the pot, move up one pot size with fresh draining mix; avoid an oversized container that stays wet too long.
- Propagation: Healthy stem or leaf cuttings can root in lightly moist propagation mix under warm, bright indirect conditions; allow time for new growth.
Pet safety
Peperomia is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
