How to take care of Peperomia Caperata Quito

Sun: Indirect

Peperomia Caperata Quito thrives in medium to bright light. They’ll also handle a few hours of gentle morning or late afternoon sun, but keep them out of prolonged, direct midday rays.

Light: Bright - Medium

They enjoy bright, indirect sunlight for most of the day. A spot with filtered light or near an east-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the textured leaves.

Water: When mostly dry

Let the top 2–3 inches of soil dry out before watering. They’re sensitive to overwatering, so make sure the pot drains well. Use room-temperature water and avoid letting the plant sit in excess water.

Humidity: Any

They adapt well to average home humidity but will appreciate a boost in moisture during winter or in dry climates. You can group them with other plants or use a pebble tray to keep leaves fresh.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Peperomia Caperata Quito is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet-friendly homes.

Pro Tip

Rotate your plant every couple of weeks to encourage symmetrical growth and even leaf color. Wipe leaves gently to remove dust, helping them photosynthesize more effectively.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
