Watermelon peperomia are unique plants. Their large, green and silvery striped leaves often hide their bright red petioles, like the green striped rind hides the red insides of a watermelon! Detailed care instructions can be found here. Peperomia can tolerate a wide range of light conditions, though they thrive in bright, indirect light. Water your peperomia when the soil is 50-75% dry.
Peperomia are pet safe! No danger here when it comes to our furry friends. Peperomia are a staple when it comes to tropical bioactive enclosures for reptiles and amphibians. Watermelon peperomia are one of the more fragile peperomia and are best suited to enclosures with small animals.
Plants will be shipped bare root and are suitable for a 4 inch pot. Photos are representative and some natural variation should be expected.
