Peperomia obtusifolia variegata
Unlike real babies, this plant is easy to care for. It has oval-shaped, marbled leaves growing on reddish-green stems 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.
Bright, indirect light. Periods of direct sun are good too.
SM: ~8" tall and a 4" pot. Variegation may vary.
MD: ~12"-15" tall and a 6" pot. Variegation may vary.
Pro-tip: Rotate a quarter-turn every time you water it to maintain even growth.
Care level: No sweat
Light: High
Pet friendly
Water: Once a week

Had my eye on a rubber tree for a long time...but they are not pet friendly. Bought this little guy on a whim because it looks similar to the tree I always wanted, just smaller. I am super happy with it. And it is safe for my cat! Actually, in my original shipment of several plants, this one was missing, but rooted cleared up the problem right away and sent me another one without charge. I couldn't be more pleased!
