Peperomia obtusifolia
An eye catching mid sized plant.
Sometimes called the baby rubber plant, the thick fleshy leaves do resemble the larger rubber plant (although they are not related).
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.
