Baby Rubber Plant (Albo-Marginata)
Peperomia Obtusifolia Albo-Marginata
The plant, by the plant
I'm the Baby Rubber Plant in a dinner jacket - same easy-going soul, but every leaf comes edged in creamy white like it's been hand-trimmed. Effortlessly fancy, zero effort required.
Bright, indirect light keeps my margins crisp; water only when my soil dries out. I genuinely thrive on a bit of benign neglect - the ideal plant for the enthusiastic-but-forgetful.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-30cm tall
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 20-50cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: totally pet-friendly - the fur family is safe.
Pair me with my cousin Peperomia Red Edge for a peperomia party, and dress me in a Cooper Pot in White to echo my cream edges.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Care tips
Water regularly leaving the soil to dry out in between waterings. Because the Baby Rubber Plant has thick, succulent-like leaves it can easily withstand some neglect. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
