Taco Leaf Plant (Peperomia axillaris): Bright green foliage shaped like pea pods arch off of tall stems. This plant survives in the shady, jungle understory with "leaf windows". These translucent "windows" curve along the top of the leaf and allow sunlight to irradiate the leaf interior.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
