Peperomia obtusifolia Golden Gate – Baby Rubber Plant Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Big Bold and… Uneven? Obtusifolia can grow quite tall and uneven. Fill in the blanks by pinching out the tips of the plant in early spring, causing it to bush-out.
Fertiliser or Infestation! If you notice leaves curling, check for pests. If no pests are present the likely cause is lack of fertiliser.
Divide and Conquer! Peperomia are one of the easier plants to propagate. Taking cuttings in the spring and putting them into a glass of water or wet compost will promote new root growth and eventually new plants.
Light
Peperomia are fine in moderate light conditions and will tolerate shade. Avoid direct sunlight. Ideal for the office or a basement flat as they do well under fluorescent lights.
Watering
Water when the soil has almost dried out. Do not overwater. Use soft water if possible and water from below. Water is stored in the leaves making these plants drought resistant.
Temperature
This Baby Rubber Plant prefers average to warm temperatures from 18-24°C but can cope with as low as 10°C at a push. Avoid cold draughts.
