Peperomia argyreia ‘Watermelon’
The Watermelon Peperomia gets its name from its striking, patterned leaves that resemble the rind of a watermelon—deep green with shimmering silver stripes. Compact and eye-catching, it’s perfect for desks, shelves, or as a statement in small spaces.
Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch
💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; avoid overwatering
🌫 Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity but tolerates average indoor air
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
Fun Fact: Despite its succulent-like leaves, the Watermelon Peperomia is not related to true watermelons—it’s actually part of the pepper family, Piperaceae.
