Peperomia Obtusifolia

About:

The Peperomia Obtusifolia is a succulent-like variety of Peperomia. Also known as the Baby Rubber Plant, it is actually unrelated to the Hevea Brasiliensis, the primary resource of natural rubber. The Peperomia Obtusifolia (or Peperomia Green) is characterized by its thick upright stems with glossy, oversized leaves. It stores water in its thick leaves, which shrivel in drought and plump when water is available. Leaves are typically dark green, but can also have white or yellow variegation that resembles marbling.

Flowering Season: N/A

Planting Media: Soilrite mix would be a perfect planting medium for all kinds of plants.  If required pebbles (1-1.5cm) can be added to the mix to make sure the planting medium is well drained.

Water: Water once or twice a week, depending on season. Allow soil to dry out almost completely before watering thoroughly.

Sunlight: It prefers medium to bright light. It can also tolerate low light as it is not suited for intense, direct sun.
