The Peperomia ‘Watermelon’ (Peperomia argyreia) is a fan-favorite indoor plant known for its round, silver-striped leaves that perfectly mimic the look of a watermelon rind. Each leaf is slightly succulent in texture, with bold green and silvery arches radiating from a deep red stem, making this compact houseplant a playful and elegant choice for bright interiors.
Loved for its petite size, sculptural foliage, and easy-going nature, Peperomia ‘Watermelon’ thrives in containers, desktops, shelves, and windowsills. It adds a splash of pattern and personality to any space without demanding much care, making it a go-to for both beginners and collectors.
Whether you’re styling a modern nook or gifting a unique foliage plant, Peperomia argyreia delivers charm, color, and botanical fun in one compact package.
Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can cause leaf burn, while low light may fade its signature striping.
Watering Instructions ▾
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Peperomia prefers to dry out slightly between waterings—overwatering is a common mistake.
Care Tips ▾
Soil: Grows best in well-draining soil, such as a light houseplant mix with added perlite or sand to improve aeration.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. No feeding needed in fall and winter.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity but adapts well to average indoor levels. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to increase moisture in dry air.
