Peperomia: Obtusifolia

We do not ship plants! Please select "Porch Pick Up" as your shipping option.

The Peperomia obtusifolia, or “baby rubber plant”, is characterized by its thick spoon-shaped green leaves. 

Light

Baby Rubber Trees prefer medium bright indirect light.  For this type of light, it is best to place them in front of a south- or west-facing window or close to (but not in front of) a north- or east-facing window.  (Learn more about light requirements for indoor plants)

Water

Peperomia with waxy leaves like to have the soil dry out between watering; ones with softer, thinner leaves need to be watered more often.  A moisture meter can help determine when it’s time to water your plants! 

Temperature

Temperatures between 60-80℉ are ideal, and they can withstand temps as low as 55℉.  However, these tropical houseplants love warmer conditions, so the warmer, the better!

Humidity

As with most tropical indoor plants, Peperomias benefit from higher humidity, but will do fine in average household air.
