Peperomia obtusifolia, commonly known as the baby rubber plant, is a species of Peperomia that is popular as a houseplant due to its attractive foliage. The variegated variety of Peperomia obtusifolia has leaves with a mix of green and white or cream colors, which adds to its ornamental value.

Here are some care tips for Peperomia Variegated Obtusifolia:

1. Light: Place your Peperomia in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to provide filtered sunlight or artificial light if growing indoors.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water the plant thoroughly but make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

3. Temperature: Peperomias prefer average to warm temperatures, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures.

4. Humidity: Peperomias like moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing a water tray with pebbles near the plant, or misting the leaves occasionally.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and a small amount of sand works well for Peperomias.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Peperomia variegated obtusifolia with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. You can also remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.

8. Repotting: Repot your Peperomia every 2-3 years or when the roots become crowded. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

By following these care tips, you can help your Peperomia Variegated Obtusifolia thrive and continue to display its beautiful variegated foliage.
