The Story Behind This Plant

Peperomia Watermelon, botanically Peperomia argyreia, is native to South America, particularly Brazil, where it grows in tropical understory conditions. This is the standard sized form of the plant, with larger leaves than the compact Mini Watermelon variety.

How to Keep Peperomia Watermelon Happy

Light: Bright, indirect light works best. It can tolerate lower light but will grow more slowly.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, since Peperomia roots are sensitive to soggy soil.

Soil: A well draining mix with perlite or sand added works well.
Temperature: Normal room temperature is fine, away from cold drafts.
