The Story Behind This Plant

Peperomia Taco Leaf, botanically Peperomia axillaris, is native to Ecuador and Peru, where it grows in warm, humid forest environments. It has adapted well to indoor conditions thanks to that tropical background.

How to Keep Taco Leaf Happy
  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light and adapts to moderate light conditions too.
  • Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil are dry. It prefers to dry out between waterings.
  • Humidity: Average home humidity is fine.
  • Soil: A well draining potting mix works well.
  • Temperature: Normal room temperature is fine, away from cold drafts.

Bring Home Peperomia Taco Leaf

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

Sun: Indirect

Aim to provide your Peperomia Taco Leaf with consistent, moderate light levels. Too much or too little light can impact its growth and health, so find a spot in your home where it receives ample ambient light throughout the day.

Light: Bright

While Peperomia Taco Leaf plants enjoy bright, indirect sunlight, they can also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves.

Water: When mostly dry

Peperomia Taco Leaf plants prefer to be kept on the drier side, so allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.

Humidity: Any

While Peperomia Taco Leaf plants can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, they appreciate slightly higher humidity if possible. You can increase humidity around your plant by misting it regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially during dry winter months.

Pet Friendly: Yes

Peperomia Taco Leaf plants are considered pet-friendly, as they are non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, it's still a good idea to keep an eye on your pets around the plant to prevent any potential ingestion.

Pro Tip

To encourage bushier growth and maintain its compact form, regularly pinch back the growing tips of your Peperomia Rosso. This not only promotes new growth but also helps prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Additionally, consider rotating the plant every few weeks to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
