All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Like other caperata varieties, Quito has its roots in the tropical rainforests of Brazil, growing naturally under a canopy of trees. This explains its love for soft, filtered light indoors.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best to maintain its rich color. Avoid harsh direct sun.
  • Water: Let the top half of the soil dry before watering. Water less often in winter.
  • Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

Bring Home the Warm Glow

We hand pick each Peperomia Caperata Quito and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

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.
