Native to South America, this low-maintenance plant thrives in warm and humid environments and is well-loved for its adaptability and pet-friendly nature. Its charming, textured leaves and ease of care make it a must-have for both beginner and experienced plant lovers.

Common Names: Peperomia Watermelon, Watermelon Begonia (though not a true begonia)
Botanical Name: Peperomia argyreia
Size: Grows up to 6-12 inches tall and wide indoors with proper care.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf pattern. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, as this plant stores moisture in its thick leaves. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in drier environments.
Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
