PhilPeperomia obtusifolia variegated. Needs succulent care-soil totally dry between waterings, bright light. Can even handle morning sun. I trim it to keep it bushier. Shallow pots because of shallow root system, and because it’s semi succulent, it’s easier to care for in a terracotta pot.

People tend this plant differently. Most people let it grow and then stake it, as Aria has said in her post. I don’t do it that way. When it gets too tall, I do some trimming. I have given away so many props from this plant. Cuttings root quickly. I’ve even seen some use it in a hanging planter draping over the sides.

AriaTo echo Phil, these plants thrive on succulent-like care. I’ve noticed rapid growth when I give them bright light. I let the soil dry out between watering then drench it when I do water. The leaves tell you when it’s time to water: they’re thick and rigid after being watered then thin and limp when it’s time to water. Also, I tend to rotate the pot and use sticks to prop up the plant when I notice it leaning.
