- All about the Peperomia obtusifolia, aka the baby rubber plant! Peperomias are a huge family of plants, many of which make excellent houseplants. This video focuses mostly on the Peperomia obtusifolia and how easy of houseplant it is to care for. This houseplant likes low light, low water, and doesn't get very large which makes it an excellent houseplant for beginners. This is one of the easiest houseplants to grow in my opinion. Another great feature is that this is non toxic houseplant! It can be hard to find plants safe for children and houseplants safe for pets, but this plant has it all!

Yay great timing! I just got a small variegated one. It’s so cute
Awesome! Hope it brings you years of joy!
You will love it but pls dont give too much water. They love a drink every 10 days.
My goodness that was the clearest sharpest video I've ever seen on you tube in my life lol Excellent plant Info. I love it
Well thank you!
I completely agree! So useful
I
This was honestly such a perfect plant video, and told me everything I need for me two tubber babies! Finally ONE single video that touched on basically everything, for a specific plant whilst also not being 30 minutes long. More videos like this for sure!
I appreciate that! Thank you, Destiny! Usually my videos are way too long! Haha. Can be challenging to try and cover everything and keep things short without being boring and robotic in style. Thanks again and I hope you and your rubber babies are doing well! 😊
*touches the pot to move it and a leaf falls off* ahh yes classic sign of being similar to a succulent 😅
I have one of those green ones that turned variegated! It's mind boggling.
When I propagated the leaves of my variegated one, they rooted great but the new leaves from them were solid green, no variegation. When I propagated by stem cutting, the variegation was retained. No problem for me, now I have two different kinds..
I believe the only difference is how much light it has. The lower the light the less variegation.
i think your "red edge" has the wrong tag on it. I have a red edge and it's a darker green with a faint maroon edge on the leaves. I think that one is just a normal green/not variegated obtusifolia
I was wondering the same actually. Thank you for letting me know, I'll look into it further. 😊
i just googled and i agree. the clausiifolia has a pointed tip too
I've noticed Costa Farms / Exotic Angel plants are often mislabeled!
Hi, may I ask you how to deal with splitting leaves? My variegated Peperomia obtusifolia is having brown edge and that look like a scar. Some look the same as the one you have. Is it because of lack of water? I always mist the leaves.
I just bought one of those. This video was very informative 🌿
One of the best videos I’ve watched on plant care! Good job! Please do more videos on common house plants. I just bought both of these as gifts for my Mom and I know want one of each too. You’ve covered everything I needed to know and share with my Mom! Thank you so much ☺️
Thank you, Sheila! They are fun plants that you both will have for a long time 😊
This was everything I needed in one video! Perfect for newbie plant moms like me. Thank you!
Oh I was so happy when I seen this video. I just got one,of these a few days ago. Fell in love, never seen one before around me. I got the variegated one. Sounds pretty easy to take care of. Thanks for the tips , I haven't looked her up yet. Didn't know it was in the rubber tree family. Very 😎. Thanks Jeff💖✌
super fun and easy! I hope you have yours for many years! Thank you! Oh, they aren't in the rubber tree family, they just are commonly called, "baby rubber trees" just based on their appearance.
I just bought one today from lowes and pull it out to see how the soil was looking and it was soaked..I pulled some of that soil away and added some dryer soil..I hope it does well.
Thanks for the video. These guys are great. My teardrop peperomia does tend to get leggy. It's right in an east window and still stretches for the light, so I'd say it's more of a high light plant than some other peperomias. It does readily branch out with pruning though, so that's really nice :) Then my obtusifolia is so forgiving. I tried it in a north window, but hadn't considered the drafty air vent nearby. I watered it too much one day and that low light environment + the drafty window AND the extra water was a recipe for disaster. The poor thing lost 1/3 of it's leaves by the time I went back to the room to check on it. I moved it to my bright east window (about 4 ft away), and in a day or two it had new leaves come in to replace each one that had been lost. Both varieties are such a delight :)
They stay small? My 21 year old peromia obtusifolia is 50 cm high and 80 cm wide.....
21 years old! That's awesome.
Perfecting.... just bought 3 of these last night to go over my kitchen sink... good info!!
Oh I bet that looks beautiful!
Absolutely fabulous, very informative & straight to the point. Wonderful video thank you💖💖💖💖
Tropical dude... Isn't it a general rule of thumb, that if the stems are on the thicker side, then the plant does not need to be watered as often. Whereas, plants with thinner stems, need to be watered a tad bit more.
That is correct!
I have a very tiny Baby Rubber Plant (Peperomia obtusifolia). It's in a 2" pot. It is o cute! Thank you for the great info on these plants.
Thanks for sharing, watching fr. Philippines.
Great video. Thanks! I have mine under grow lights. I guess I dont need the grow light. How do I pinch them to make them bushier? Do I just pull any leaf?
Perfect video. Plenty of information.
Thank you!!!
Thanks! Just got one, thought it was a type of succulent
You keep your audience interested throughout your program, kudos.
Thank you!
I have two, they’re probably my favorite plant. They put off leaves like crazy!
They are excellent!
OMG totally off topic but I have to show you my Amaryllis! The one you gave me the tips on..... THERES A LITTLE BABY SPIKE!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Pics to follow on Instagram
Oh and by the way, I love the new Instagram logo you have going on!!! 🌝
And is it just me or do the peperomia look plastic from a distance lol I mean they are cute as a button don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I’m just saying lol 😂
haha! that is exciting! I agree, they totally look plastic!
Great video! I have tons of these growing in my front entry way garden just growing wild...I think I'll get some cuttings and plant them in the backyard and see how they take up. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
My Peperomia has lots of slugs. I'm gonna repot them tomorrow.
What kind of soil would you recommend ? Is cacti okay ?
Mine drop leafs .. why 😢
whoa i'm glad i watched this video because it turns out that my peperomia, which was labeled Obtusifolia Veriegata, is actually a Teardrop Peperomia
Thanks for the info! I keep seeing them at Lowe's and I'm so drawn to them! I'm thinking of using one in my living wedding bouquet!
Oh that would be gorgeous!... and you can easily drop the cuttings from the bouquet into some soil and have them grow for you as a houseplant. How sweet! I love when plants can have sentimental value!
The genius in that idea.
My pepperomia obtusifolia has stopped growing. The new buds dried up and they never grew back again. I repotted it 2x already and I’m thinking I used a wrong or non well drainig soil for it. Should I repot it again and use a well draining soil? I’m thinking of propagating using the leaves but I dont have much luck in plant propagation yet because I am just a plant beginner. Waiting for your advise. Thanksomuch for your videos!
Thanks for the content..so informative. I’m stunned when i see you tubers that have picked up such healthy and full 🌱 at big boxes..i have several pepps from some local nurseries and they were pricey and half the size / general growth of those. Why is that?
Because you're getting yours at local nurseries, where there's much more care put into their plants and not as much space, usually.
I've had GREAT luck at local "Produce Junctions" and even Walmart. Just last week, I found a beautiful aglaonema / Chinese Evergreen at my local Walmart and it was on clearance for $5. I took it home, cut off a few brown leaves, gave it some good water and some decent lighting and she's thriving! Lmk if you find anything good at those type places. 😁😁
Wow. Literally the exact opposite care instructions from the last video! Lolol! Good thing my peperomia is doing pretty well. Just trying to identify mine (it's the light green variegated one) Great info about the cupping deal.
If the leaves darken, do they lack water? I wait until is completely dry!😢
Is it normal for them to have the little brown dots on them? Mine had it since I got it and I saw yours had it too and I wanted to know if it was something I had to worry about
I like peperomias! I have a few and I'm hoping to get more. 😊
I got one of these guys at lowes yesterday and the soil is absolutely SOAKED. Should I wait and see if it dries up or should I repot with fresh soil? Don’t want it to rot!!
EVERYBODY thinks they know how to use the word nuance now! lmao....
I usually water my plant like that once a week, from the bottom. I've had it since Feb. And have had no problems. It has 3 shoots. Today I noticed that one if the "stems" had leaves that were shriveled like it had too much water, sorta like it was rotting. The rest of the plant looks fine. Any suggestions?
That’s the kind of plant info that’s helpful! TYSM.
👃I like the Peperonias . . . I am creating a Meditation Garden, I need all the tips and tricks for growing.
I love a meditation garden!
I just purchased a marbled peperomia online. It’s… not as purdy as i was hoping. lol. I liked the others I ordered tho. 😅
That's the downfall of online plant shopping right? I do it all the time, see something and it looks so cool, then it comes in the mail and it's just blah. Glad you liked the others though, they are great plants that you will probably have for a long time.
I had gnats really bad, I repotted them twice but now it appears to be dying, the edges of the leaves are brown, what can I do?
Are they watered when 2 inches of the soil is dry or completely dry?😢
Hello nice video, I just got one yesterday a virgated . thanks 👍🏾🙌🏾🙋🏽😀
Got mine in a succulent garden in Trader Joe’s even though they are not succulents.
They are very slow growing and don't like too much water.
This plant was suggested by Hermit Crab Association. I'm thinking about using for my tank. I was wondering how it would due in Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate.
Leave it in its pot and plant it in the substrate. I wish I knew about this plant when I had hermies!
Great video on the baby rubber plant Peperomia Obtusifolia, thank you. I have one of these beautiful indoor plants that has grown to about 21" high that I had to support it . Are these plants need to be supported to prevent them from breaking ? The plant is still in the small original pot when bought from the nurseries. I intend to transplant this plant to a larger pot but I'm lost as to what pot size to choose. As to the height of this plant, can I cut this plant about half way without killing it and propagate ? Any of your videos show as to how to propagate a tall plant and from where to cut ? Your video taught me a lot about this plant, thank you.
I have the same issue. Very tall skinny plant.
I just love the varigated one. I have both, but anything that looks like it has a leaf inside a leaf is so cool. ❤🌱
Well said!
i repotted mine into three pots, two survived and the third one's leaves are droopy , how do i fix that ?
So how do you deal with the calcium/magnesium deficiency? Mine has those jagged leaves, which I thought were just damage from the store at first, but the new growth has weird things going on too. Jagged leaves and some curling. I've been scouring the internet for info on this so was excited to at least hear someone mention it!
Hello! There's a fertilizer called. CalMag that works well and also most tomato fertilizers have a good amount of calcium in them. 😁
Hi! I just got an peperomia obstusifolia but it came in a pot with some other plants (ivy and a pink polka dot). While it all looks so incredibly lovely together I don’t believe that my peperomia is doing to well with the other two. Do you think I should repot is separately or is there a way I can keep them all together? I know you probs busy but would love if you could give me advice! Thank youuuuuu!!!
Hello! That sounds like a lovely plant arrangement! You're probably right about separating them though, the peperomia obtusifolia really doesn't need the same watering as the polka dot plant and ivy will.
Peperomia is not a Ficus plant (rubber plant)
🌿😎🌿 cool
What if the edges are sort of red? I just got one for Mothers Day and the edges of the leaves are red.
Why do my peperomia leaves have black dots? Plz reply
Black dots are usually from too much humidity and/or an infection.
@@TropicalPlantParty would u like to suggest me some solutions plz?
Why do mine have some yellow spots on the leaves yet i never put them directly in the sun thnks
Your video is very helpful thanks 👍
the only peperomia i love is the dark green , they are the eaisest to grow,
I'm holding out for a lemon lime, but haven't seen one around yet.
Lemon limes are pretty! Hope you find one!
New subscriber here! So glad I found this video because I've had this plant for a few months but could not figure out exactly what is was! So thankful I stumbled on your channel! Very informative & helpful info on my peperomia! Thanks so much! Can't wait to watch more of your videos & follow you on IG. Take Care! 🙂
Hi Kelly! I'm glad to have helped! Thank you!
New subscriber! Thank you so much for this video. Excellent information!!!🌿💚 Thank you so much♡
Hi Debbie! Thank you so much!
I have one that has large leaves and keeps dropping them. It is very sparse now. Just a month ago it was growing new leaves like crazy now it's dropping them off. I repotted today in hopes it just needs some love.
Could I fertilize with banana water (soaking banana peels in Water) or molasses and water?
Thanks for sharing I just brought one the other day.Looking forward to next project you have.
Thank you, Tameka! Sitting down right now to start something fun!
the deep green and sparkly ones look sooo delicious I could eat them up haha
This was fun to watch and informational! Loved it.
Well thank you so much!
Hey! Love your video! I would like to know if you could help me... my Peperomia Obtusifolia variegata is losing her leaves and but they are not rotten nor saggy... the soil is not wet but humid, and it is not sitting in water. Also, it is not in direct sunlight... but the leaves just fall out at the touch and I am concern as I am down to 3 leaves :(... can you please help?
Very helpful thank u!💗
How to watering?😢
How to watering?😢
Love peperomias! Thanks for all the great info on them!
They are fun plants! Thank you!
Never been much into Pepperomia, not my thing, kind of like Philodendron. Would you be interested in a Blue Agave pup? I just potted one up but it needs to grow some new roots. Obviously I wouldn't want to send it to you until it warms up there anyway. Let me know.
I get that. I never used to be into either but over the last few years they've been catching my eye more and more. Thank you for offering but I can't take on more agaves. Lol... they get so heavy and stab the crap out of me whenever I move them inside then back out.
@patrick m OK. I just looked at it and it is putting down some new roots already. If you have instagram, send me a DM (knowitallmichael) with your email and we can set something up (assuming you're not in CA or AZ, they frown upon sending plants in)
Love all your videos :) Keep it up!
Have you noticed a maple syrup scent from your pep obtusifolia variegata?
its a rubber plant? I always wanted to get my hands on a rubber plant, didn't know what it was until I looked up the name of it on the website from the greenhouse I bought it from. Well I got my wish after all. It wasn't labeled when I bought it. I just thought it looked neat.
Very good video. Thanks!
thank you!
I let mine dry out a little too much and it started drooping. I couldn't revive it so I propogated it. Fingers crossed.
Precious Faith Alone they all died but the one that I put in water grew roots along with a Hoya rope leaf
beautiful plants. thank you very much for sharing your care tips. God Bless 👍💖😘
I got one last year and it is doing great except the white is turning a dark yellow green. I hope it's not regressing. Any ideas? Thanks for the vids, I wish you would include yourself sometimes. 🤗
Thanks for the information......I have one of these and a jelly one, but maybe I have in too much light as the jelly leaves have dark red edges and stems but I have in an east window, and since spring is coming the sun is starting to shine. I also was not a peperomia kind of person, but as time goes by and |i see more people on here with peperomias makes me want more for myself. Where I live though its very limited buying!!!
Their are so many varieties but around here the obtusifolia is the most common. The jelly ones are really cool!
@@TropicalPlantParty obtusifolia is whats around here too. I know there are many kinds but where I live can't find anything. We only have a Wal-Mart that sells plants and three grocery stores that each have a small small section. This is where I found my pilea peperomiodes though. In the spring the garden center open up but we have no nurseries to speak of. If I travel one hour away I will find some nurseries...but I don't go too often
Hi! Loved the video. I currently have a Pepperomia obtusifolia that's about three years old and its primary stem is measuring out at about 27in (68cm). Is this . . . a problem? Why is it so large? Like obviously my plant's happy I just don't understand why one stem has decided to reach for my ceiling while the other stems just kinda . . . chill. Anywho thanks for all the advice!
Hi...I have this yellow variety of peperomia which is shedding leaves one after another. Please help.
Love the video! Does anyone know how long a variegated peperomia obtusifolia last for???!!! I need to know their lifespan! Please🙏🏼
I’ve had a lemon lime obtusifolia for over 10 years
Tara Neal thank u so much!!😭❤️
I tried propagating my peperomia obtisifolia in water and they end up just rotting ? HELP
do you know if the marble coloured indoor peperomia plants edible?
Hi! Your video was very informative. Mine are the same variety. The leaves are turning or twisting for some reason. Can you tell me why?
Thanks for sharing, is another name called Peperomia (Radiator) plant?
I have the one you have in the video and I’m wondering what type of soil mix they need. Thanks!
Can you tell me why my green and white ones turned allergen after a couple of years?
little late to the party, but ...do you mean all green? If so 'tis because of too little light. They needed to produce more chlorophyll, so they needed more leaf space.
I love these plants! Thanks for the tips!
they are great plants! Thank you, Sherry!
I have a variegata that has a long stem. If I cut it, will it grow new leaves from that stem? I need to propagate it, it’s a single stem and growing very well right now.
Hi my peporomia is wilting....not crisp but became leggy please help to save them
I see your plants have brown spots on the back of the leaves is this the same brown spots as on the top of the leave? Mine has a hard brown little raised spots on the back also? Thanks
I thought I had just a regular green, but I guess it's a lemon lime. Who knew?
Hello! Just bought my peperomia obtusifolia (variegated) and I noticed that there are rough bumps at the undersides of the leaves. Are they normal?
My baby rubber plant is slightly droopy I need HELP
💚💖🙂🏠
The first one isn’t obtusifolia, it’s peperomia Variagada!
