Peperomia Obtusifolia Marble 4" Pot

Peperomia Obtusifolia 'Marble,' also known as the Marble Baby Rubber Plant, is a stunning variety featuring broad, fleshy leaves with gorgeous variegation in shades of green, cream, and yellow. Its compact, bushy form makes it an ideal choice for desktops, shelves, or as a charming addition to any small indoor space.

Peperomia Obtusifolia 'Marble' Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn, which can fade its vibrant variegation.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one blended with perlite and orchid bark, to provide good aeration and drainage. A succulent blend works best.

3. Watering:

Allow the top half of soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, as the fleshy leaves store moisture, and overwatering may cause root rot.

4. Humidity:

Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to typical indoor levels. In drier climates, a humidity tray or light misting can help the plant stay healthy.

5. Temperature:

Best suited for temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

6. Fertilization:

Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

7. Propagation:

Easily propagated by stem cuttings or leaf cuttings placed in soil or water until roots develop.
