Peperomia obtusifolia variegata
Prized for their decorative leaves and pet friendly reputation...
Sometimes called the baby rubber plant, the thick fleshy leaves do
resemble the larger rubber plant (although they are not related). This
variety has an attractive variegation that ensure it will turn heads.
The pet friendly nature of Peperomia and their tolerance of lower light conditions, thanks to a life on the forest floor on nature, mean they have been popular houseplants since the 1930s.
