Peperomia obtusifolia
Unlike real babies, this plant is easy to care for. It has oval-shaped, emerald green leaves and produces light green flower spikes containing tiny white flowers. It hails from the tropical Americas, so make sure it stays in warmer environments and avoid drafty windows.

Nice size rubber plant. Some of the leaves were not in the best shape but the plant is thriving now.

I've wanted a Fiddle Leaf Fig as long as I could remember, but with two Labs that love to get into everything - a toxic plant just wasn't reasonable. I searched some articles, and many mentioned that a baby rubber plant is very similar to a Fiddle Leaf Fig without being toxic to dogs! So I, of course, bought it right away. It came in perfect condition - and it's grown since I got it about a month ago. So happy with Pia, and can't wait to buy more plants from Rooted!
