    I happened to tumble across a few leaves of this baby rubber at Walmart, propagated them just for fun and now this big baby is the star of the house. Isn’t it the most gorgeous plant ever 🤍

    This is so helpful. As I am a new "planting/plant lover" . I've always loved pepperomia lover. This one was given to me as I was leaving a procedure after God allowed me to be victorious over colon cancer and Chemotherapy. Thanks again. I'm subscribing! You're delightful and easy to listen to.

    OMG. I saw my pepperomia sort of struggling and I thought “big wide leaves must equal a plant that requires more light! I’ll put a supplemental light on it!” Face palm. It yellowed and struggled more. I now know better and have done some research. Thank you for this!

  • @Maggdusa
    @Maggdusa ปีที่แล้ว

    I just bought one of these about a week ago, my first one. It was super root-bound at the store (but looked healthy & happy) and I thought once I re-pot, fertilize, and give it some TLC it would do so much better. I did those things and also put it under a grow light and it is browning, struggling, and doing so much worse. 😞 It also hasn't soaked-up ANY of the water I initially put in. 😭

    I bought her I'd say two months ago... she was somewhat small.. two weeks of having her she had grown three green strings in random places it made me question if my pepperomia obtusifolia was actually one at all... I want to say another week or two went by and I noticed they were dying off now its been months and she's been very healthy at least I had thought... I noticed she has a few leaves that are brown but they aren't dry it looks as if more are starting to do the same...

    New to plants so excuse my ignorance. So the baby rubber plant is different from a rubber plant?
    I got a baby rubber plant about 2 months ago and I really like it despite it not looking as full as yours. It’s constantly growing more leaves up top and nothing has fallen off so I think it’s happy here.

    • @michaeljohnhalse
      @michaeljohnhalse  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is different from a rubber plant! “Baby rubber plant” is just sort of the common name for this peperomia obtusifolia. True rubber plants are from the ficus family, ficus elastica are the green and burgundy and variegated kinds you see at stores. This one is called a baby rubber plant, because it’s leaves and characteristics are similar to ficuses despite being a peperomia.

    • @michaeljohnhalse
      @michaeljohnhalse  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, it’s fine, just make sure that the soil is pretty dry between watering so you don’t drown it. Some people I know have all of their plants potted in pots without drainage and they’re doing fine. I just have a tendency to overwater, haha.
