That’s a fantastic choice! The Babby rubber plant Red edge oval leaf(Pepperomia obtusifolia), often called the Baby Rubber Plant, is a semi-succulent, low-maintenance houseplant that is great for beginners and is non-toxic to pets.

Here is a simple care guide for your “Baby Rubber Plant Red Edge”:

Peperomia obtusifolia ‘Red Edge’ Care Guide

1. Light

Aspect	Details
Ideal	Bright, Indirect Light. Place it near an East-facing window, or a few feet away from a South or West-facing window.
Tolerance	It is quite tolerant of Medium to Lower Light conditions, but growth will be slower. If the unique red margin on the leaves starts to fade, it’s a sign the plant needs slightly more light.
Warning	Avoid direct, intense sun, which can scorch the thick, glossy leaves and turn them dull or brown.

2. Watering

The Peperomia’s thick, fleshy leaves and stems are semi-succulent, meaning they store water. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems (specifically root rot).

Aspect	Details
When to Water	Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. The leaves may feel a little less firm or slightly bendy when the plant is thirsty.
How to Water	Water thoroughly until you see water drain from the bottom hole. Immediately empty the drainage saucer so the pot is not left sitting in water.
Frequency	This will vary based on your home environment, but generally about once every 1-2 weeks in the growing season (spring/summer) and less often in winter.

3. Soil & Potting

Aspect	Details
Soil Mix	Use a well-draining, airy potting mix. A standard houseplant mix amended with perlite, orchid bark, or coarse sand is ideal to ensure good drainage.
Pot	Always use a pot with a drainage hole. It prefers to be slightly root-bound, so only repot every 2-3 years, or when the roots are clearly growing out of the drainage holes. When you do repot, only go up one size.

4. Temperature & Humidity

Aspect	Details
Temperature	Prefers average indoor temperatures between $6 5^{\circ} F$ and $8 0^{\circ} F$ ( $1 8^{\circ} C$ to $2 7^{\circ} C$ ).
Warning	Keep it away from cold drafts from windows or air conditioners, as sudden temperature drops can cause leaf loss.
Humidity	It does well in average household humidity, but like all tropical plants, it appreciates higher humidity. You can boost humidity by grouping it with other plants or placing it on a pebble tray with water (making sure the pot is not submerged).

5. Fertilizing

Aspect	Details
When to Feed	Feed with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during the active growing season (Spring and Summer).
Dilution	Dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength to prevent fertilizer burn, as Peperomias are not heavy feeders.
Rest	Do not fertilize during the fall and winter months.

6. Common Issues & Tips Babby rubber plant Red edge oval leaf(Pepperomia obtusifolia)

Wilting/Drooping Leaves: Can be a sign of both underwatering and overwatering. Check the soil! If dry, it needs water. If wet, it might be root rot.
Yellowing/Mushy Leaves: This is a classic sign of overwatering and potential root rot. Reduce watering frequency immediately.
Leggy Growth: If the stems are stretching and the leaves are sparse, the plant is telling you it needs more light. Move it to a brighter spot.
Pruning: You can pinch or trim back the stem tips to encourage the plant to branch out, resulting in a bushier, fuller shape.
Toxicity: Pet-Friendly! Peperomia obtusifolia is non-toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA).
