Peperomia argyreia Watermelon

Peperomia argyreia (Watermelon Peperomia) features round leaves strikingly patterned to resemble watermelon rind—dark green stripes on silver-green. One of the most beginner-friendly houseplants. Provide bright to medium indirect light. Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry; its thick leaves store water and overwatering causes root rot rapidly. Average household humidity is perfectly adequate. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks at half strength during the growing season. Temperatures of 65–80°F are ideal. Non-toxic to pets and humans. A compact grower reaching 8–12 inches.
