Peperomia orba 'Pixie Lime' miniaturises the baby rubber look into a tight, mounded plant with small fleshy leaves washed in lime green and lined with deeper green striping. It usually stays between 15 and 20 cm tall, making it useful for small pots, terrariums, desks, or shelves where you want a clear variegated note without much space.
Bright, indirect light helps preserve the lime tint and compact growth, while moderate light is generally tolerated if the plant is kept on the dry side. Let the upper part of the substrate dry before watering, use a well-aerated mix, and avoid heavy soil or constant moisture. The species is known only from cultivation, but as a houseplant it behaves like an easy, slow-growing peperomia with shallow roots and a neat, container-friendly habit.
