✨ Peperomia argyreia, known as Watermelon Peperomia, boasts unique foliage

resembling a watermelon's rind. Its dark green, fleshy leaves with silvery

stripes sit on slender, reddish stems, creating a compact, upright appearance.

Native to South America, it's perfect for desktops or small spaces. This

charming plant adds a touch of nature to any indoor collection.

 

🌿 Watermelon Peperomia Care Tips:

 

* Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf fading or burning. It tolerates medium light but grows more slowly.

* Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Use pots with drainage. Peperomias store water; overwatering is common.

* Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. It adapts to average indoor levels but appreciates a boost, especially in dry seasons.

 

* Soil: Use a light, well-draining potting mix. Perlite or orchid bark helps prevent soggy roots. Avoid heavy soils.

* Temperature: Ideal range: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or below 50°F (10°C).

 

* Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. No feeding needed in winter.

* Pruning: Prune leggy growth to keep it compact. Remove dead leaves at the base to encourage new growth and tidy appearance.

 

Peperomia argyreia is a showstopper with its bold, patterned leaves! It's just

as easy to care for as it is beautiful.
