Baby Rubber Tree, Upright or Vine?
I read somewhere recently that Peperomia Obtusifolia can grow strong upwards, but also topple over & hang like vines. Almost like succulent vines. Does anyone let theirs dangle? How's it look? I ask because mine has started to fall over, & I'm not sure if I should stake it & see how tall it can grow, or let it hang & wobble to and fro 😉😂 #peperomia #hangingplants #happyplants #viningpeperomia #stacked #babyrubberplant #ThisOrThat #growth

Peperomia don't like to be kept consistently moist, but be sure you're not underwatering your plant. Keep a consistent watering schedule–water when the top 2”-3” of the soil are dry. If you accidentally let your Peperomia's soil dry out completely, you may see leaves go limp, droop, and possibly drop.
I staked mine with a bamboo stick. It got too heavy on me as it grew.
I posted pictures so you could see.

@KikiGoldblatt ya I water mine only after its dried out a bit. I've even had to snooze Greg a few times, it's holding water well. But I don't let it get crazy dry either. So far no leaf drop, limp, or droop. Only the stem. It's grown so much since I first got it, so I think that's all it really is. @sarahsalith Aaww! think I'm gonna let future ones try to hang and see what happens. I picture it in my mind, & it looks cool.
For now, I staked it up with the original bamboo stakes it came with, it almost looks like a pre-teen wearing shoes too small! I'll post pics later 😉
