Description

The Peperomia Green is a succulent-like variety of Peperomia, originally found in the rainforess of South America. Also known as the Baby Rubber Plant, it is actually unrelated to the Hevea Bransiliensis, the primary resource of natural rubber. The Peperomia Green is characterized by its thick upright stems with glossy, oversized leaves. It stores water in its thick leaves, which shrivel in drought and plump when water is available. Leaves are typically dark green, but can also have white or yellow variegation that resembles marbling.
Peperomia Plants, which belong to the Pepper Family, are semi – succulents with very similar care requirements. The leaves of Peperomia houseplants are thick and plump, smooth and shiny. Their leaves are a deep true green colour. Peperomia houseplants can be used in dish gardens and terrariums and are also ideal for tables, and hanging baskets.
Peperomia green or the baby rubber plant is from the pepper family. A versatile plant that can sustain a bit of abuse and has minimalist waxy spoon like leaves.
