Baby Rubber Plant (Variegated)

Brief Description

This plant is a Peperomia obtusifolia variegated type, characterized by its thick, glossy, oval-shaped leaves that are green with creamy white or yellow variegation. The variegation can appear as patches, margins, or central areas on the leaves, depending on the specific cultivar.

Care Instructions

Peperomia obtusifolia prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun as it can scorch the leaves, especially the variegated parts. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. They thrive in average to high humidity. Well-draining potting mix is essential. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
