Peperomia 'Quito'

Yes, this variety is non-toxic and completely safe for households with curious pets.

To keep the foliage vibrant, place your Peperomia in a spot that receives bright, indirect light. Too little light may cause the leaves to lose their signature red hue and turn more green.

This plant prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again to ensure the roots stay healthy and avoid waterlogging.

Yes, it thrives in a well-draining potting mix. Using a blend designed for succulents or adding perlite to standard potting soil will help prevent moisture from sitting around the roots.

Regular pruning is the best way to achieve a fuller look. Simply trim back long or leggy stems, which will encourage the plant to branch out and grow more densely.

The plant is shipped in a 4-inch nursery container with soil included, but a decorative outer pot is not provided. You will need to provide your own container that has adequate drainage holes.
