Peperomia obtusifolia is a compact evergreen species recognised for its thick, glossy, cupped leaves and sturdy upright stems. The fleshy foliage is characteristic of the semi-succulent nature of the species, with the leaves acting as water storage organs that contribute to their smooth, almost waxy appearance. As it matures, the plant develops a dense, bushy form, typically reaching around 30 cm in height, with new leaves emerging a lighter green before deepening to a rich emerald tone.
Habitat: For a bushier plant, pinch tips through spring and summer months to encourage additional shoots to form. Prefers to be kept in warmer temperatures and away from draughts.
Light: Bright, indirect light.
Water: Water from dry only. Leaf loss is a sign of over-watering.
Soil: Use peat-based soil. This plant has a small root base, therefore select a shallow pot to accommodate it. Doing so will reduce the chance of water-logging the plant.
Fertiliser: Will benefit from the application of a balanced plant fertiliser during peak growth periods.
