The Peperomia Watermelon is a charming, compact houseplant loved for its striking foliage that mimics the rind of a watermelon—silvery-green leaves with bold, dark green striping. Its rounded, fleshy leaves grow on short red stems, creating a full, lush appearance that fits beautifully on desks, shelves, or windowsills. Easygoing and low-maintenance, it’s a delightful choice for both new and seasoned plant lovers.

Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
Growth Habit: Compact, typically reaching 6–12 inches tall.
Pet Safety: This plant is non-toxic and pet friendly.
