Peperomia Red Edge Baby Rubber Plant

The Peperomia Obtusifolia Red Edge also Known as the Baby Rubber Plant, is a popular houseplant due to its low maintenance and unique appearance. This plant is native to South America and belongs to the Piperaceae family. It is also commonly referred to as the "American Rubber Plant" or "Peperomia Red Edge."

The Peperomia Obtusifolia Red Edge can grow up to 8 inches tall and has thick, glossy, green leaves with red edges. Its compact size makes it perfect for small spaces such as desks, shelves, or windowsills.

This particular variety of peperomia prefers bright indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions as well. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, so it's important to find a balance when it comes to lighting for this plant.

When it comes to watering, the Peperomia Red Edge prefers well-draining soil and should only be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important not to let this plant sit in soggy soil.

One interesting fact about the Peperomia Obtusifolia Red Edge is that it is a semi-succulent plant. This means that it stores water in its thick leaves, making it more drought-tolerant than other houseplants.

To care for your Peperomia Red Edge, occasional fertilization with a balanced fertilizer is recommended during the growing season (spring and summer). You can also prune this plant to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.

Another perk of the Peperomia is that it can be reproduced by cutting its pups, place them in soil and you will have a new plant. With so much to offer, it's no wonder this is one of best-selling houseplant.
