Description:

Peperomia argyreia, commonly known as the watermelon peperomia, is a tropical indoor plant native to northern South America. It features striking asymmetrical oval leaves with silver stripes and red stems, resembling a watermelon pattern. This compact, bushy plant grows up to 8 inches tall and thrives in bright, indirect light, preferring temperatures between 50 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Its thick, succulent leaves make it drought-tolerant, but it benefits from moist soil and moderate humidity. In summer, it produces tiny green flower spikes. Ideal for shaded areas, it is a popular choice for houseplant enthusiasts due to its unique foliage and easy care requirements.
