Description:
P. axillaris is an exotic succulent with a rather slow growth but easy to cultivate, suitable also for neophytes. It has thin and plenty ramified woody stems of a nice bright pale green, from which grow small fleshy leaves. Due to their crescent shape similar to a mexican taco, have asserted to the plant the playful nickname of "Taco succulent". The foliar epidermis is enriched by translucent zones which, besides giving the Peperomia a strongly ornamental look, works as "windows", allowing the light to penetrate also inside the plant. Peperomia axillaris is perfect to decorate in a lively and elegant way in any space and it will certainly not go unnoticed and will bring to your home a pleasant exotic touch!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sun rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as long as they might burn the leaves.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water regularly but moderately in spring-summer, always making sure that the soil is always dry between one watering and another one. During the winter period, reduce watering to once every two months, avoiding stagnation of water.
A well-draining soil is an optimal solution, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
