Oh, caring for a Peperomia 'Green Bean' plant is so much fun! Here are some care tips for your Peperomia:

1. Lighting: Place your Peperomia 'Green Bean' in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but too much direct sunlight can burn its leaves.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Peperomias prefer slightly drier conditions, so be careful not to overwater. It's always better to underwater than overwater.

3. Humidity: Peperomias are adaptable to different humidity levels, but they appreciate slightly higher humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby.

4. Temperature: Peperomias thrive in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing them to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well for Peperomias.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Peperomia 'Green Bean' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Apply it every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during the winter months.

7. Pruning: If your Peperomia becomes leggy or unruly, you can prune it back to maintain its shape. You can also pinch off any yellow or damaged leaves to keep it healthy.

Peperomias are generally low-maintenance plants, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on them and adjust your care routine as needed. Enjoy your lovely Peperomia 'Green Bean'! 🌱😄
