Baby Rubber Plant ‘Lemon Lime’ Peperomia obtusifolia

Peperomia’s are sought after for their ability to handle low light in a home or office. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world, in particular Central America. Most are compact perennial plants which are grown for their ornamental foliage, rather than their flowers, which are quite unimpressive. Peperomia plants are normally compact, rarely growing more than 12" in height in the indoor setting, making them ideal for containers, balconies or small indoor spaces. They normally have sturdy stems and many have fleshy leaves, with succulent characteristics.

There is considerable variation in the appearance of Peperomia plants, and this is one of the really interesting things about them. You could build up quite a sizeable collection of Peperomia plants, and still have no two plants that look quite alike.
