Watermelon Peperomia
Description:
Watermelon Peperomia (Peperomia Argyreia) is a tropical plant that is native to South America. This plant gets its name from the green and silver striped leaves that resemble the skin of a watermelon. The leaves are fleshy and oval shaped and can grow up to 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. Watermelon Peperomia has a compact growth habit and is an excellent choice for small spaces, such as an office desk.
Plant Care:
- Light: Watermelon Peperomia prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it is best to keep it out of direct sun.
- Water: Water this plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Do not overwater, as this plant is susceptible to root rot.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that is high in organic matter.
- Humidity: This plant is tolerant of normal room humidity levels, but if the air in your office is dry, you can mist the leaves to increase humidity.
- Fertilizer: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Disclaimer:
Our plants are always supplied with nursery pots. Please note, therefore, that the size specifications always refer to the height of the plant including the plant pot. Deviations of a few centimeters cannot always be ruled out as you are buying a natural living product. The height depends on several factors and can also vary slightly seasonally. The mentioned height of the plant is inclusive of the pot.
