Introducing the Peperomia axillaris, which is a charming and popular houseplant that belongs to the Peperomia genus. This perennial epiphyte native to South America, is also known as the taco leaf plant or radiator plant, that thrives in warm and tropical regions. This delightful plant is loved for its unique foliage and compact size, making it a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space. 


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.

The Peperomia axillaris flower is usually greenish-white and appears on thin Peperomia flower stalks that emerge from the leaf axils.

These teeny tiny flowers bloom in the spring. However, it's important to note that flowering is relatively rare in indoor settings. 

When it comes to Peperomia axillaris propagation, this unique shrub-like succulent can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. To propagate a healthy stem cutting, remove lower leaves, place in a well-draining potting mix, keep soil moist, and provide indirect light. Roots should develop within weeks. 

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. 

To determine when it's time to water, you can use the "finger test." Simply stick your finger into the soil up to the first knuckle. If the soil feels dry at that depth, it's time to water. If it still feels slightly moist, it's best to wait a bit longer.

Another important aspect of watering the peperomia axillaris is to avoid getting water on the leaves. This plant is prone to rot if water sits on its leaves for too long. To prevent this, it's best to water the soil directly at the base of the plant, rather than overhead watering. 

Remember, every plant is unique, and factors like temperature, humidity, and the type of potting mix used can affect watering needs. Observing your peperomia axillaris closely and adjusting your watering routine accordingly will help you provide the right amount of water for optimal growth. 

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 12 to 14 hours a day to mimic natural daylight. 

When growing outdoors, this Peperomia axillaris plant does well in partial shade to filtered sunlight. It can tolerate some direct morning sunlight, but it's best to protect it from intense afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burn. Consider placing it in a location that receives dappled sunlight or where it is shaded by taller plants or structures during the hottest part of the day. This will help maintain the right balance of light for optimal growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Peperomia axillaris prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

For fertilization, the Peperomia axillaris don't require heavy feeding. You can use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer with a ratio of 5-10-5 or a similar NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) ratio. Dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength and apply it once a month during the growing season, which is typically spring and summer. 

Remember to always follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for proper dilution and application. An accumulation of salt in the soil caused by overfertilization may be detrimental to the plant. 

It's better to err on the side of caution and provide a little less fertilizer than too much. 

Additionally, it's a good practice to flush the soil occasionally to remove any excess salts. You can do this by thoroughly watering the plant until water drains out from the bottom of the pot. This helps prevent salt buildup and keeps the soil fresh.

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the peperomia axillaris thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures down to 60°F but should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations. Avoid placing it near heating vents or air conditioning units as these can create hot or cold spots. 

In terms of humidity, the peperomia axillaris prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Aim for a humidity range of 50% to 60% to keep the plant happy. You can increase humidity by placing a tray filled with water near the plant or using a humidifier in the room. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help provide a boost of moisture. 

For outdoor cultivation, it is suitable in USDA zones 9-11.  It can tolerate temperatures as low as 50°F but is most comfortable in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F. If you live in a dry climate, you can create a microclimate for the plant by grouping it with other plants or placing it in a shaded area where it can benefit from the natural humidity created by nearby foliage. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Peperomia axillaris is a wonderful plant among Peperomia varieties, that offers a variety of appealing features. With its compact size, unique teardrop-shaped leaves, and glossy green foliage, it adds a touch of beauty and freshness to any space. Whether you choose to grow it indoors or outdoors, this charming plant is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Water it moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Additionally, it appreciates a bit of humidity, so misting the leaves occasionally can be beneficial.

Fits 1988 Sea Ray V-135 2 stroke (Mercury)
For those of you with the 135 hp mercury that was branded as the "Sea Ray 135" and paint matched to the boat (i.e. Seville's and some others) this is the 147 degree thermostat for that motor. My Seville is an '88 and It's difficult to cross reference the serial numbers on those motors when searching for parts. Only buy Quicksilver parts for these motors. Happy to find them on Amazon because Boats.net as an example, is not clear on what you're getting.

Not all great stereo systems meet all the requirements for connectivity.
I want to go on record, the Onkyo TX-Nr7100 is an awesome choice for a stereo avr. Great connectivity, a warm sound quality, and many options for your audio sound choices. But, because it's base connectivity, as it applies to Bluetooth, I do not recommend to connecting a PC to it. Due to audio and video, data separation. The Onkyo, though an excellent stereo choice, has problems playing Youtube and other types of media, with built in audio and video playback. It defaults to the miniplayer, built into the system and is impossible to get rid of in these situations. I give this product 5 stars on quality and performance, but it was not made to connect to a computer. Stll, I recommend this AVR Stereo Receiver on its aesthetic look, sound, audio and connections and quality. Very important to keep this in mind for Computer and gaming console connection to this system.

Exceptional Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 2.1, Dirac Live & THX – Incredible Value
After researching extensively and using the TX‑NR7100 firsthand with a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup, I’m thoroughly impressed by its blend of features, performance, and value. Setup & Interface The guided setup process is smooth and intuitive—Wi‑Fi setup, firmware updates, speaker configuration and HDMI mapping all work seamlessly. The on-screen menus are clean and accessible, though some deeper options may require a bit of navigation With six HDMI 2.1 inputs and two HDMI 2.1 outputs, this receiver supports 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video formats, along with VRR, eARC, and ALLM. This makes it ideal for gaming consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X—performance is solid with no reported signal dropouts on the primary HDMI ports. Audio & Sound Quality Every channel delivers up to ~100 W into 8 Ω, powering immersive content such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with clarity and presence. THX post-processing adds dimension and scale, especially with cinematic soundtracks. Dirac Live room correction provides musical staging, precise imaging, cleaner dialog, and deeper bass—transformative for untreated or irregular rooms. Streaming & Multi-Room Equipped with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth (including aptX), and Sonos/DTS Play-Fi integration, streaming is flexible and robust. Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, TuneIn, and more are all supported. It even functions as a Roon endpoint with no signal issues when streaming high-res audio over Ethernet. Build & Design The front panel features a large green display, a straightforward volume dial, and basic controls. While the remote is functional, it isn’t backlit. The control app is usable but somewhat basic, making desktop Dirac calibration a better option for fine-tuning. Pros: Cutting-edge HDMI 2.1 support for 8K/60Hz, 4K/120Hz, VRR & eARC THX Certified with immersive Atmos/DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced support Powerful and convincing Dirac Live room correction Versatile streaming ecosystem and smart assistant compatibility Excellent price-to-performance ratio compared to peers Cons: HDMI glitches possible; best addressed via firmware updates and proper setup Remote is not backlit; app UI is basic Not truly expandable to 11-channel systems; no independent sub outs or extra preamp channels Verdict: The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 strikes a remarkable balance between modern video support, superior immersive audio, and intuitive usability—all at a price point that undercuts many similarly spec’d competitors. If you want future‑proof HDMI features, strong gaming performance, Dirac‑based room tuning, and multi‑room streaming options, this AVR delivers beyond expectation. Highly recommended.
