Baby Rubber Plant – Peperomia obtusifolia – Small Potted Houseplant

Baby Rubber Plant, botanically known as Peperomia obtusifolia, is a compact tropical houseplant with attractive green, broadleaf foliage and a clumping growth habit. Despite its common name, it is a Peperomia rather than a true rubber tree.

This listing includes 1 small live Baby Rubber Plant in a plastic pot. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor growing in appropriate conditions and works well in rooms, offices, shelves, and other small-space plant displays. Natural variation in plant size, foliage density, and appearance should be expected.

The plant prefers light and can tolerate lower-light rooms, while moderate watering is recommended. Avoid excessive watering, as overly wet conditions can stress the roots. If grown outdoors, bring the plant indoors before cold weather.

Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.
