Peperomia 'Quito'
Small footprint. Plenty going on.
Coppery, deeply rippled leaves make Quito worth a closer look. This compact peperomia fits a bright desk or shelf and is a good choice for someone starting their indoor jungle. Give the soil time to dry between drinks. Enthusiasm is not a watering plan.
A good fit: For a bright desk, a small shelf, or a first plant with a bit more personality.
Care at a glance
- Light: Bright, indirect or medium filtered light.
- Water: Let soil dry partway between waterings. Empty excess water; avoid soggy soil.
- Care: Beginner-friendly. Compact growth and ordinary indoor humidity.
- Pets: Peperomia caperata is listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA.

What arrives
One live Quito peperomia in the selected pot size. Pot size describes the container, not the plant’s height. Leaf color and growth vary naturally.
A little plant advice
Check the soil, not the calendar. Quito would rather miss an unnecessary watering than sit in a puddle.

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!
