Variegated Peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia variegata)
Variegated Peperomia, also called Variegated Baby Rubber Plant, has attractive, glossy, succulent-like leaves with cream-colored variegation that creates marbling patterns in the green leaves. The Royal Horticultural Society has awarded this plant an Award of Garden Merit for its unusual leaves. Small white flowers appear in spring. Grow in partial sun or bright indirect light, but no hot mid-day sun. Water when the soil is dry to the touch but since the fleshy leaves hold water, water sparingly during the winter when not actively growing. Insects and diseases are rarely a problem with Variegated Peperomia. The National Garden Bureau has declared Peperomia the 2022 Houseplant of the Year since it’s popular and easy-to-grow. This plant is part of our pet friendly plant collection.
