Peperomia ‘Quito’ brings warm, autumnal color to indoor collections with deeply ridged, heart-shaped leaves in orange-red, pink, and bronze tones. Its compact mound of textured foliage makes a distinctive accent for desks and shelves. This ripple peperomia appreciates gentle light and a mix that dries partially between waterings rather than remaining soggy or completely dry for long periods.
