Baby Rubber Plant (Variegated)
Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegated
The plant, by the plant
The star of the Baby Rubber Plant clan has arrived. I'm the Variegated Baby Rubber Plant - glossy leaves marbled in green and cream, like someone swirled two milkshakes together and made it fashion.
I ask for almost nothing: decent indirect light (it keeps my variegation vivid) and a drink when my soil's properly dry. That's it. That's the care routine.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-30cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: pet-friendly and proud of it.
I look golden in a Laiton Brass Pot, and a little Indoor Plant Food in the growing season keeps my marbling magnificent.

Care tips
Water regularly leaving the soil to dry out in between waterings and prefers to be homed in a bright room with plenty of indirect light. 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!
