Baby Rubber Plant

Mostly all of the peperomias are considered easy care indoor plants because they do not require a lot of water. They thirst, instead, for brightly lit rooms where they can grab all of the indirect sunlight they need to grow. Most of the thicker-leaved varieties can be treated like succulents as they retain water in their waxy leaves. A baby rubber plant is great for any type of plant owner from beginner to expert.

Baby rubber plants with waxy leaves like to have the soil dry out between watering; ones with softer thinner leaves need to be watered more often. Your finger is a great gauge for knowing when the soil is dry and your plant needs watered.
