Peperomia: Watermelon

Place your peperomia in low to indirect light. Too little light can cause slow growth while too much light can burn the foliage.

Water your peperomia when 50%-75% of the soil volume is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.

Your peperomia does well in average household humidity. However, if the air is very dry it will appreciate the occasional humidity boost.

Peperomias prefers average room temperatures between 65-75°F.

Your peperomia will benefit from regular fertilizing during the growing season. Feed once per month in the spring and summer months with general houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength.

The Watermelon Peperomia is non-toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
