ADDITIONAL CARE
Peperomia Obtusifolia, commonly known as the Baby Rubber plant or Pepper Face, thrives in well-lit areas. For optimal growth, spraying this plant with osmosis water a few times a week is advisable. By providing sufficient warmth, light, and moisture, you can expect rapid growth. Ideally, place this plant on an epiphyte branch or a moisture-retaining back wall within a terrarium, ensuring the roots remain consistently moist. With easy pruning and a small root system, frequent repotting is unnecessary.
To maintain its vitality, consider changing the soil or at least the topsoil on an annual basis. If a young plant outgrows its current pot, repotting to a larger size during the spring season is recommended. During the plant’s active growth in spring, apply a diluted liquid fertilizer every two weeks, reducing the frequency to once a month in summer. However, feeding is not required from autumn to spring.
For simple propagation, take stem tip cuttings measuring a few centimeters. Select a tip (petiole) with a 5-8 cm length, including one or two leaves. Plant the cutting in a small pot filled with moist potting mix, ensuring warm temperatures of around 20ºC and ample bright light.
