The petite American Rubber Plant is not technically a succulent
However, it has fleshy stems and leaves that trap and reserve water for the dry times like a succulent
It is a slow grower so it is easy to control
Higher levels of humidity will be necessary for your baby rubber plant to thrive
They do best in temperatures between 65-85 degrees F
Bottom watering is a great method for this plant
The need is more infrequent than other plants, but soaking the soil completely is best
Water when the soil is dry about 1-2 inches down
A light friable, well draining soil is best for peperomias
80% succulent soil mixed with 20% orchid bark is a good mix for the baby rubber plant
Moderate to bright indirect light is great for Peperomia Obtusifolia
The leaves will burn in harsh direct sunlight, so be sure to protect it throughout the day, and in changing seasons
This plant will trail if left un pruned, so be sure to snip off any new shoots that begin to trail if you want a bushier tabletop size plant
