Quinn, a Peperomia Caperata Quito, is a popular plant because of her succulent, pointed, heart-shaped, deeply textured leaves. Her leaves are a light golden orange-red colour, with prominent, sunken veins, and if that didn't sound dreamy enough, her stems are a bright red-pink colour.
Interestingly, Quinn contains both male and female flowers on the same spike, and more often than not blooms under conditions with less than 12 hours of light each day.
Quinn is one of over 1,000 members of the Peperomia family, most of which are native to Central and South America.

If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
