Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

The Watermelon Mini Peperomia enjoys moderate humidity. Regular room humidity is usually sufficient.

Pet Friendly

Peperomia Mini Watermelon is safe for pets. It won't harm cats, dogs, or other animals. But, it's still a good idea to watch your pets around plants. Sometimes they might try to eat them, and that's not good.
