The Peperomia Argyreia, commonly known as the Watermelon Peperomia, is a delightful indoor plant perfect for beginners and a prized gem for collectors. Admired for its green and silvery variegated leaves, which resemble a watermelon pattern, perched on thin red stems, this plant is both easy to care for and visually striking, making it a standout addition to any indoor space.
Light: Prefer bright indoor areas with indirect sunlight, but will also tolerate low light conditions.
Water: Once a day, water the potting media thoroughly till excess water drains out. Allow it to dry slightly between waterings. Do not overwater as this can lead to stem rot.
Temperature: Plant tolerates temperatures from 18-28°C.
Fertilizer: An all-purpose, water-soluble balanced fertilizer that contains an equal amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g. N-P-K: 15-15-15 +TE) will help to boost the plant's overall health by feeding it every two weeks. Otherwise, a slow-release fertilizer (e.g. Osmocote) can be incorporated into the potting media, and to be replenished after about 2-3 months. Do follow the recommended dosage indicated on the fertilizer’s application instructions.
