Description

Peperomia obtusifolia, the baby rubber plant, has thick, glossy oval leaves that store water like a succulent's. As a result, it's very forgiving if you forget to water. Compact and neat, it finds its place on a desk, shelf or kitchen table, and it's safe for pets.

Where to place it

In a bright room: office, kitchen, living room, bathroom. It prefers bright indirect light and tolerates medium light; it copes well with dry air.

Caring for your Peperomia obtusifolia

Let the soil dry out almost completely between waterings.
It doesn't need misting: the air in our homes suits it.
Repot it only every two to three years — it likes being snug.
Feed it once a month in spring and summer with a gentle fertiliser.

The right potting mix

A light, very free-draining mix: potting soil lightened with perlite, or blended with a little cactus and succulent mix.

Mistakes to avoid

Overwatering: soft stems and leaves blackening at the base.
A large pot that stays wet.
Scorching afternoon sun.

Frequently asked questions

Can I propagate it?
Yes, very easily: a leaf with its stalk, planted in a light mix, roots within a few weeks.
