The baby rubber plant (Peperomia obtusifolia) is a popular houseplant due to its ease of care and attractive, glossy leaves.

Here’s a breakdown of Baby Rubber Plant (Peperomia Obtusifolia) essential care tips:  

Light:

  • They thrive in bright, indirect sunlight.   
  • Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.  
  • They can tolerate low light, but growth may be slower.  

Watering:

  • Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Overwatering is a common problem and can lead to root rot.  
  • Reduce watering during the winter months.  

Soil:

  • Use a well-draining potting mix. A mixture of peat, perlite, and coarse sand is ideal.   

Temperature and Humidity:

  • They prefer average room temperatures (65°F to 75°F or 18°C to 24°C).   
  • They appreciate moderate to high humidity but can tolerate average household humidity.   

Fertilizing:

  • Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).   
  • Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.   

Key Considerations:

  • Overwatering: This is the most common issue. Ensure proper drainage and allow the soil to dry between waterings.   
  • Light: While they tolerate low light, they prefer bright, indirect light for optimal growth.   
  • Pest Control: While relatively pest-resistant, keep an eye out for pests like mealybugs or spider mites.
  • Leaf health: yellowing leaves are often a sign of overwatering.   

By following these guidelines, you can help your baby rubber plant thrive.
