If you’re looking for a houseplant that’s easy to grow but doesn’t compromise on looks, you’ve found it. Although the baby rubber plant (Peperomia obtusifolia) does produce flowers, the species is mostly grown for its pretty, shiny foliage. And you don’t need to be a houseplant expert to grow this one! Baby rubber plants are found in humid forests throughout Southern Florida, Central America, and South America, where they thrive off nutrients taken from tree debris. What’s great about Peperomia obtusifolia care is that these plants are not super demanding when it comes to lighting. They do best in bright to moderate, indirect sunlight. As long as they’re somewhere close to a window, they usually do fine! Some claim baby rubber plants can do well in low light as well. The problem is that etiolation can occur if you grow yours in a spot that’s too dark: new leaves will be spaced further and further apart, making for a sparse look and ruining the nice bushy appearance of your plant. One watering a week is a good place to start for baby rubber plants, although there are many factors that will affect the optimal watering frequency. For instance, if the air in your home is on the dry side, your houseplants will get thirstier more quickly.
