The Peperomia 'Marble' (a variegated cultivar of Peperomia obtusifolia) is a charming, semi-succulent houseplant beloved for its thick, waxy leaves and striking cream-and-green patterns.
This plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America and the Caribbean, where it often grows as an epiphyte (on trees) or in the shaded forest understory.
According to NASA research, peperomias are effective at reducing indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde. Often called the "Baby Rubber Plant," it is a resilient choice for beginners and busy plant parents alike. Peperomia 'Marble' is non-toxic to dogs, cats, and humans. It is one of the safest plants for households with curious pets.

Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain the marble variegation. It can tolerate lower light, but the leaves may lose their creamy patterns and turn solid green.
As a semi-succulent, it stores water in its leaves. Allow the top 50-75% of the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
Requires a well-draining, chunky mix.
The plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). It is sensitive to cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F can cause damage.
