Why Plant Lovers Choose Peperomia Quito

Care Guide
Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Tolerates lower light but colors are most vivid in good light.
Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Peperomias store water in their leaves — less is more.
Humidity: Adaptable to average household humidity. No misting required.
Temperature: Thrives between 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts.
Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A blend with perlite works well.
Fertilizer: Light feeding once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Alocasia Variegated Frydek Brandie Perry
The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
