All About the Peperomia Obtusifolia
Add a cute, fresh touch to your home with a Peperomia Obtusifolia (often called the Baby Rubber Plant)!

As a wonderful bonus, it is completely safe and non-toxic for dogs and cats!
How to Grow & Care
Sunlight: This plant loves bright, indirect sunlight. Keep it near a sunny window but away from harsh, direct afternoon sun that can burn its beautiful leaves. It also does perfectly fine in lower light!
Soil & Planting: Plant it in loose, well-draining soil. Make sure its pot has large drainage holes at the bottom, as the roots will rot if they sit in soggy mud.
Watering: Because its thick leaves store water, it doesn't need to drink too often. Let the top half of the soil dry out completely before you water it again. Overwatering is its biggest enemy!
Feeding (Fertilizer): Feed it with a regular liquid houseplant food once a month during the spring and summer growing seasons to keep it strong and healthy.
Leaf Care (Keep it Shiny): Gently wipe the glossy leaves with a soft, damp cloth every now and then. This removes dust, helps the plant breathe, and keeps it looking beautifully shiny.
What You Receive: 1 healthy, ready-to-plant Peperomia Obtusifolia sapling.
