If you want an easy-care and fast-growing houseplant, then take a closer look here. The Baby Rubber Plant, with its thick, glossy green leaves, is just what you’ve been looking for.
Type 1
The Peperomia obtusifolia is no different than many other houseplants. It prefers & does best in bright natural light. Just be sure to keep yours out of direct, hot sun as those thick, fleshy leaves will burn.
Type 1
Peperomia obtusifolias propagate by stem cuttings (it very easy to do in water), by taking leaf cuttings &/or by dividing the plant.

Baby Rubber plants like a rich, chunky, & well-draining mix. I like to use a mix of potting soil, coco fiber, orchid bark, charcoal & local compost. That’s worm compost in the bowl.
Type 1
I give most of my houseplants a light application of worm compost with a light layer of compost over that every spring. Easy does it – a 1/4in layer of each is plenty for these smaller sized plants.
Type 1
The Baby Rubber Plant grows so fast that I’ve already pruned it a few times. The stems grow tall & heavy causing them to flop out of the pot.
Type 1
Their root systems are small so they don’t need repotting often. I repot mine every 5 years to freshen the soil mix or if the roots are coming out the bottom. And, I only increase by 1 pot size.
