Is there such a thing is a vareigated (SP?) rubber plant? I have a plant that I think is a rubber plant, but it has light green, white, pinky leaves.

I've seen them, they are pretty plants. I have the burgundy one I got from the clearance shelf for 99 cents.

So will it change colour or will it stay the same? I bought it because I liked the colours, but now I'd like to learn some more about it. Thanks

It's semi succulent so be careful not to overwater.

Oh thanks - I tend to water a bit too much. I really have to watch myself. I'm glad the colours will stay the same. This plant is really neat! It's growing like a weed...

This is my peperomia Jelly it is very similar to a rubber tree has the has tough rubber type leaves, I rarely ever water it and it grows like crazy. The more light it gets the brighter the colors are. I just love this plant. ![[Linked Image]](http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/fuller4183/peperomia.jpg)

I'm so devastated. Harley (my dog) got excited when someone came to our door, he knocked my plant flying. I think I managed to save two pieces of it- not a lot of leaves though. I put it back in the pot - hopefully it will survive.
