Peperomia Nivalis Taco Leaf
The Peperomia axillaris with bright green pea pod-shaped foliage, thrives in a shady jungle understory with translucent "leaf windows" that allow sunlight to irradiate the leaf interior, allowing it to survive.
Peperomia axillaris is a compact plant that typically reaches a mature height of around 12 inches tall.
This petite size makes it an excellent choice for small spaces, such as desks, shelves, or terrariums.
Its compact growth habit also makes it suitable for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant.
Watering Needs
When it comes to watering, the peperomia axillaris prefers a slightly different approach compared to other houseplants. It thrives when the top inch of soil dries out between waterings. This means you should allow the soil to dry out a bit before giving it a good drink. It's critical to strike the correct balance because overwatering can result in root rot and other problems.
Light Requirements
When growing indoors, the Peperomia axillaris prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in a spot where it receives bright, filtered sunlight throughout the day. Placing it near a north or east-facing window is usually ideal. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.
If you don't have access to natural bright light indoors, you can also provide artificial light using fluorescent or LED grow lights. Position the lights about 6 to 12 inches above the plant and keep them on for about 8 to 12 hours a day to mimic natural daylight.
