Peperomia Variegata is an attractive, variegated version of the Baby Rubber Plant, with all of the same cherished characteristics, plus an added advantage: multiple shades of dark green, olive green and a lovely creamy white.
It is a bushy, upright plant with thick stems and fleshy, glossy, cupped leaves. The thick, fleshy leaves contribute to their drought tolerance and vigour. It has a compact, spreading nature and is particularly suited to growing in low light conditions, making it perfect for offices and shady spots. It forms narrow spikes of off-white flowers on red-brown stems.
It is a slow growing plant and can be potted in a small container for long durations. They are easy to look after, highly ornamental and look great displayed on desks or small tables.
Light: Medium to bright indirect sunlight.
Watering: Allow the top soil to dry out completely and then water thoroughly.
Fertilising: During Spring use a diluted fertilizer twice a month and once a month during summer.
Pruning: If the stems and leaves begin to over grow pinch the top to stop further grow and prevent the plant from looking out of shape.
Repotting: It has a small root system so you don’t need to repot very often.
