Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegated 4" Pot

The Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegated, also known as the Variegated Baby Rubber Plant, is a charming, easy-care houseplant with waxy, rounded leaves adorned with beautiful green and creamy-white variegation. This compact, upright plant is perfect for tabletops, desks, or small spaces, bringing a touch of nature indoors.

Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegated Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but may lose some variegation in reduced lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Avoid moss-based mixes to prevent water retention, as this plant prefers quick drainage.

3. Watering:

Water when the top half of soil is dry. This Peperomia has succulent-like leaves that retain moisture, so it's important not to overwater. Water sparingly during winter.

4. Humidity:

Tolerant of average household humidity. Can benefit from slightly higher humidity but generally adapts well to normal indoor conditions.

5. Temperature:

Keep within 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C), as the plant is sensitive to cooler conditions.

6. Fertilization:

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

7. Propagation:

Easily propagated by stem cuttings placed in water or soil.
