Peperomia argyreia ‘Watermelon’
Also known as the Watermelon Peperomia, Peperomia argyreia features rounded leaves with alternating silver and green stripes that resemble watermelon rinds. Its reddish stems and compact growth make it a charming addition to desks, shelves, and smaller spaces. Its slightly succulent leaves store moisture, so it appreciates drying partially between waterings.

Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings; avoid leaving soil soggy
Soil: Light, well-draining potting mix with added perlite and fine orchid bark
