Love my peperomia!
It is so hardy and forgiving.
It has more than doubled in size in a year.
It will bend to find the light, but no bend is permanent in my experience. In the photo mine was curvy from having turned the pot 180degrees, therefore it started bending in the opposite direction than before to go to the sun. But now it sits closer to the light and has almost completely straightened itself.

I plan to give it a trim and root the cuttings.

Very easy plant! Survived lack of drainage for months in original pot (albeit with minimal growth) and is thriving in a larger pot with good drainage!

I bought this plant at my local Trader Joe’s because of the beautiful pot it came in. Rubber baby plant slowly grew on me with it’s evergreen leaves and remarkable growth and then hibernation.

Every day, I am learning to be a more conscientious plant parent where I think about what the future of this baby plant will need... and how am I able to give it a best life possible.

I love peperomias, but this one has to be the fastest growing one I have! It loves the morning direct sun from my east facing window. Not a true rubber plant - this is pet safe! Be careful not to overwater. Let soil dry completely and then wait a few days. It holds water in its leaves, so it is drought hardy.

Pretty tolerant, seems to like soil to dry out between waterings, and consistently bright light but not direct.

First plant I was ever able to keep alive. Good plant for people that aren’t great with plants. :)

As long as you give them adequate water, nutrients, and room, they will thrive. Got my plant from Home Depot on the verge of death and within a few hours he was full of life.

this plant is very easy to figure out. a sprout died and it was easy to figure out it needed more sun. kinda hard to over water so far. and the sprouts grow faster than my other plants

I would call it normal-speed propagation (though that’s still in progress), and a fairly slow grower, but I haven’t had a single problem with the plant (browning leaves, leaf death, pests, etc). That said I’ve given it good care, so I can’t attest to how well it does with over/under-watering. Pet friendly and cute!

I love this little plant! It started out as a small 4ā€ plant. I didn’t know anything about it when I got it. The next thing I knew it had doubled (and then some) it’s size!! So cute

This one has done well enough in my window, but nothing to write home about. I hadn’t noticed much new growth though now that I’m writing this review I’m noticing there is actually a new leaf budding. I think this baby will be a slow burn for growth. Which I suppose is okay. We’re all on different timelines and journeys šŸ˜…

Really forgiving! I love the variegation and leaf shape on mine. I think they’re so fun and cute. I haven’t experienced a ton of fast growth but I love her regardless
