Baby Rubber Plant Care Guide - EdenOnEarthPlantCo

Baby Rubber Plant

These Baby Rubber Plants (Peperomia obtusifolia) are adorable additions to desks or shelves. I've hand selected each plant for its compact form and glossy leaves

Light Requirements

They do best in bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Rubber plants prefer to stay slightly on the dry side. overwatering can cause soggy stems and root issues.

Soil

A well draining mix of potting soil and perlite keeps the roots healthy. Ensure the mug has drainage or water carefully to avoid excess moisture.

Humidity and Temperature

Average indoor humidity is fine, but occasional misting keeps the leaves looking fresh.

Growth Habits

Baby Rubber Plants remain fairly compact. With proper care, they may reach 6 8 inches tall and wide.

Pet Safety

Peperomia obtusifolia is generally nontoxic to pets.

My Personal Tip

Use a moisture meter or your finger to avoid overwatering and wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them glossy.
