Variegated Watermelon Peperomia
Plant type: live potted indoor foliage houseplant — Variegated Watermelon Peperomia (Peperomia argyreia).
Watermelon stripes with a splash of cream. The Variegated Watermelon Peperomia (Peperomia argyreia) paints its already famous rind patterned leaves with patches of ivory, and no two leaves repeat.
A rarity that behaves like a beginner plant: small, calm, content on any bright shelf.
Variegated Watermelon Peperomia care
- Light: Good bright light, protected from harsh rays.
- Water: Drink when the leaves lose a hint of firmness.
- Spot: Shelves and desks where the pattern sits at eye level.
- Pets: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Non-toxic does not mean edible; discourage chewing.
- Growth: Petite mounds under ten inches.
Why are my Peperomia leaves drooping?
Peperomias droop to tell you they are thirsty, and they perk up within hours of a drink. If soil is already damp and leaves still sag, ease off water and check drainage instead.
