Peperomia Obtusifolia
Sometimes called "Baby Rubber Plant," peperomia has thick, waxy leaves and makes a beautiful low groundcover for shade. This plant is used as a fairly slow-growing groundcover...or as an accent in a shaded area. It's an ideal plant for the armchair gardener because it's so easy to care for and drought tolerant once established.
Though it loves the humidity we have in South Florida, it doesn't like to be kept overly wet.
The growth rate is slow to moderate, because of its growth rate the plant rarely reaches a height of even 12 inches.
These plants need the warm temperatures of Zone 10. In Zone 9B you can grow this plant in a container to bring indoors during cold snaps.
