Peperomia obtusifolia - Baby Rubber Tree

Peperomia obtusifolia is a compact semi-succulent tropical plant with shiny, deep green round leaves. Nicknamed the Baby Rubber Tree due to its resemblance to Ficus elastica, this Peperomia stays quite small, capping out at around 12" tall. As it grow, it will continue to spread out and form a beautiful, dense shrub. This easy-growing plant is native to central America, the Caribbean, and parts of Florida.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Medium to bright, indirect light
• Water: Water when the top 2" of soil feels dry, and take care not to overwater
• Considerations: Peperomia obtusifolia is semi-succulent and can dry moderately between waterings. Pet friendly!
