Peperomia 'Quito'
Quito Peperomia 🌿✨ is loved for its rippled pointed leaves in warm coppery green tones with reddish undersides, giving it a colorful textured look without taking up much space. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage stays richest and it fits beautifully on desks, shelves, and smaller plant stands. This is a generally easy plant that stays compact and manageable, but it does not want soggy soil. Pro tip: let the soil dry partway between waterings 💧, because peperomias usually struggle more from overwatering than from being a little dry.

the plant wasn't the color as indicated in the picture.i expected it to be orange what I received was green not orange.
I purchased 3 plants from this vendor. They were all sent to me in the same shipment and I am very pleased with how healthy they all are! The care they received prior to shipping is very evident and I am very confident they will continue to thrive here in my home. Thank you !!
Very pretty and much bigger than I expected. Will buy from again.
Not as full as the picture and a bunch of dropped leaves but in good shape overall. Color is what I was hoping for
It came a little beat up. I lost a lot of leaves but it is still beautiful.
This was a great deal. It is healthy and huge

Color is off but it is a happy, healthy plant. I am hoping it will grow into the plant I thought I was purchasing!

Thank you so much, Kim
Beautiful plant delivered in a timely manner! Subtracting one star for packaging -- plant was well wrapped but shipped so that the 'this side up' markings guaranteed it would be upside down. Overall, would purchase again.
Plant was deceased on arrival (due to USPS taking their time). Seller immediately credited me for the plant and I have since bought several more plants from them. I highly recommend the seller.
Plant looks ok but I saw a centipede on its soil so might have to change the soil to a new one.
These peppermonias hate heat so the transit was rough on them. Lost some leaves but I’m thinking they’ve stabilized now and should be ok. Still great plants and you always get big healthy plants from this seller! Best of the best!
