Peperomia Argyreia ‘Variegated’ (Watermelon Peperomia)
A vibrant, compact houseplant celebrated for its striking foliage. The variegated Watermelon Peperomia features thick, glossy leaves patterned with silvery-green stripes and subtle cream or white variegation, resembling the rind of a watermelon.
Appearance
Leaves are round, slightly cupped, and succulent in texture. The variegation adds a unique twist to the classic watermelon pattern, creating a playful and decorative accent for any tabletop, shelf, or plant collection.
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Variegation is most pronounced in well-lit areas. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Its succulent leaves store water, making it drought-tolerant and preferring moderate watering rather than consistently wet soil.
Temperature & Environment
Prefers average indoor temperatures and moderate humidity. Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Growth Habit
A slow-growing, compact plant with a low, bushy form, perfect for small spaces or decorative arrangements.
Pet & Human Safety
Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for homes with animals or children.
