PEPEROMIA OBTUSIFOLIA

The baby rubberplant or pepper face, Peperomia obtusifolia, is a flowering plant in the Piperaceae family endemic to Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Obtusifolia is a particular epithet that means "blunt-leaved." The Royal Horticultural Society has given the plant the Award of Garden Merit.

 Although it requires high humidity, it does not require much attention; good lighting (without becoming excessive) is sufficient to keep the bright and strong colour of the leaves; so they do not require excessive watering. Its leaves become discoloured when exposed to direct light; nonetheless, normal lighting is sufficient. Numerous cultivars have been created, some of which feature leaf variegation, making it a popular houseplant.
