Watermelon Peperomia (Peperomia Argyreia)
Native to northern South America, this perennial has fleshy, oval green leaves that are marked with silver stripes and red stems. The variegated leaves resembling the patterns found on watermelon rinds earned it the common name, ‘Watermelon Peperomia’. The semi-succulent leaves prefer to be on the dry side so do water only when the potting mix is almost full dry.
