Purslane in 6 inch pot

Peperomia are slow growing tropical annuals and perennials that are easy to care for under average room or conservatory conditions. They have striking foliage with red stems. The foliage is fleshy, often with variegation. The fowers are insignificant. P. obtusifolia ‘Golden Gate’ come in shades of dark green, olive green and creamy white. This attractive plant is often used in bottle gardens and in other situations where space is limited.

Peperomia Obtusifolia Golden Gate, aka Peperomia Obtusifolia Variegata ‘Golden Gate’, or Baby Rubber Plant, has light green leaves with cream gold edges. The specific epithet obtusifolia means “blunt-leaved” and this variety is very hardy, easily propagated via leaf-cuttings. Like other peperomias, the Obtusifolia is non-toxic, making it safe to keep around your furry friends.
