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!

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 ☺️

@TropicalPlantParty 3 года назад

Thank you, Sheila! They are fun plants that you both will have for a long time 😊

@juliadevore9602 5 лет назад

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.

@tropicalplantmomma 5 лет назад

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💖✌

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

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.

@nancykhumalo2904 3 года назад

Absolutely fabulous, very informative & straight to the point. Wonderful video thank you💖💖💖💖

@briannaselhorst9185 5 лет назад

I have two, they’re probably my favorite plant. They put off leaves like crazy!

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

They are excellent!

@taymc407 5 лет назад

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 :)

@dignaflores6932 3 года назад

beautiful plants. thank you very much for sharing your care tips. God Bless 👍💖😘

@pearlarchambault3866 3 года назад

I just love the varigated one. I have both, but anything that looks like it has a leaf inside a leaf is so cool. ❤🌱

@TropicalPlantParty 3 года назад

Well said!

@mayaportland8805 4 года назад

the deep green and sparkly ones look sooo delicious I could eat them up haha

@TheBlackkink 5 лет назад

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.

@jla8706 5 лет назад

This was fun to watch and informational! Loved it.

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

Well thank you so much!

@aislingmeehan9862 5 лет назад

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!

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

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!

@Alexa-mj9gq 4 года назад

The genius in that idea.

@carolfisch9750 5 лет назад

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..

@ACBaber 4 года назад

I believe the only difference is how much light it has. The lower the light the less variegation.

@mawehe63 5 лет назад

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

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

I was wondering the same actually. Thank you for letting me know, I'll look into it further. 😊

@JessicaMacrow 5 лет назад

Pepperonia grew on me. I see them a lot. Great channel👍👍

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

They have been growing on me lately out of nowhere. I used to think they were kind of boring, but I'm liking the ease (with the drought tolerant varities) and that I don't have to worry about my pets eating them.

@summ3revans 3 года назад

*touches the pot to move it and a leaf falls off* ahh yes classic sign of being similar to a succulent 😅

@rosenepo2872 2 года назад

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!

@allyfiorenza7816 2 года назад

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!!

@Krista2882 Год назад

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

@shadesofidaho 5 лет назад

Today I just bought three varieties of Peperomia . I will be potting one up a bit larger as roots are coming out the bottom of the pot. My first experience with them. Thanks for the tips.

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

They are lovely plants!

@VellaCharles 3 года назад

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.

@istrala Год назад

I have the same issue. Very tall skinny plant.

@nathaliacotrina8708 2 года назад

I have the one you have in the video and I’m wondering what type of soil mix they need. Thanks!

@amandahendrixon907 2 года назад

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?

@slizzynguyenner6442 5 лет назад

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?

@ronriggs9954 5 лет назад

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. 😁😁

@Lifeofcats11 Год назад

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

@bayleymccomb5933 4 года назад

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!

@daniellemadison4225 5 лет назад

Helpful video! I was able to find a watermelon peperomia at my Sams club last week and that price was fantastic! Hoping I’ll be able to find a baby rubber plant soon

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

I got the big variegated ones at sams! .. I may have said that in the video, been a few months so I don't remember. Hope you find your baby rubber plant soon!

@daniellemadison4225 5 лет назад

Tropical Plant Party you did! You’re the reason I went there looking for plants 😂

@daniellemadison4225 5 лет назад

Tropical Plant Party they were out of almost everything when I went (including the baby rubber plants) but I’ll keep checking.

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

It's so random when they get the plants in. Last week mine had giant monsteras which is something I never would expect to see there.

@daniellemadison4225 5 лет назад

Tropical Plant Party WOW I’m really about to be in Sams club every week looking for plants 😂

@mokuho Год назад

If the leaves darken, do they lack water? I wait until is completely dry!😢

@mokuho Год назад

Are they watered when 2 inches of the soil is dry or completely dry?😢

@char26104 3 года назад

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

@heatherdegreeff1092 5 лет назад

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!

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

Hello! There's a fertilizer called. CalMag that works well and also most tomato fertilizers have a good amount of calcium in them. 😁

@dsmith5144 4 года назад

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?

@jessica3228 Год назад

What if the edges are sort of red? I just got one for Mothers Day and the edges of the leaves are red.

@petecilione4166 3 года назад

Thank you.

@michelleschafer9692 5 лет назад

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!!!

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

Their are so many varieties but around here the obtusifolia is the most common. The jelly ones are really cool!

@michelleschafer9692 5 лет назад

@@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

@bookwormescapades2779 4 года назад

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?

@douglasmarshall3273 2 года назад

I just purchased a marbled peperomia online. It’s… not as purdy as i was hoping. lol. I liked the others I ordered tho. 😅

@TropicalPlantParty 2 года назад

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.

@l.j.weaver4925 5 лет назад

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.

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?

@carlacherne3097 2 года назад

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?

@OMGitsdari 4 года назад

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!!!

@TropicalPlantParty 4 года назад

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.

@jonathonlamella5866 4 года назад

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.

@bubblegumdrops223 3 года назад

My peperomia plant is in a pot with no holes, how often would you recommend me watering my plant?

@ronriggs9954 5 лет назад

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.

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

That is correct!

@deborahhorton1560 5 лет назад

Yes they are👍😘

@KaySkywalker 3 года назад

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.

@michaelmccarthy4077 5 лет назад

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.

@TropicalPlantParty 5 лет назад

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.

@michaelmccarthy4077 5 лет назад

@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)

@lschoenrank 4 года назад

I have a Peperomia obtusifolia variegata. This particular plant has far more cream, than green. It hasn't grown much since I've had it, although it looks very healthy. But the cream parts have turned more of a light green colour (all the leaves, not just the newer ones). Do you suppose that I'm giving it either too much or too little light?

@lschoenrank 3 года назад

So sad to get no response to my question. I'm going to get rid of the plant because it's gone so dark. New growth has cream, but all the older leaves have gone green.

@elizabethbellamy2036 Год назад

Have you noticed a maple syrup scent from your pep obtusifolia variegata?

@vivianh4763 4 года назад

I was doing really well with this plant and just recently I noticed some leaves turned black and the baby ones died. My guess is I over watered it. I tried to save it so I put it in water but it quickly wilted and turned black.
