Peperomia obtusifolia 300mm

$55.00

Peperomia obtusifolia, commonly known as the Baby Rubber Plant or Pepper Face, is a popular, low-maintenance indoor houseplant prized for its thick, glossy, spoon-shaped leaves. Because it stores water in its fleshy stems and cupped leaves, it behaves much like a succulent and tolerates a bit of neglect, making it one of the absolute best choices for beginner plant parents. It grows in a semi-upright, spreading bush structure that will naturally start to trail slightly over time, making it excellent for table surfaces, desks, or even hanging baskets.
