Baby Rubber Plant (Teardrop Peperomia)
Named for its cute, dark-green, teardrop-shaped leaves, this plant has a light silver stripe down the center, giving it big personality. It is potted in a neutral-toned planter, adding to its versatile style. Plant Perk: Practically effortless, the Peperomia is slow-growing and does not require pruning. If the leaves begin to fall, it means it's being overwatered.
Note: Arrives in a black nursery grow pot nestled inside of our decorative container.
