Commonly called the watermelon peperomia (because the patterns on the foliage resemble those on the rind of a watermelon), the silver and green leaves form a decorative, dome-shaped cluster. A low-growing, ornamental house plant, Peperomia argyreia will look great when nestled amongst it's neighbours, or placed on a bright windowsill or ledge.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

Position in bright or moderate indirect light—avoid direct sunlight, as the patterned leaves can scorch. This houseplant thrives in a well-draining potting mix and prefers to dry out slightly between waterings: water when the soil is nearly dry, but never let the crown sit in water.
Ideal room temperatures are around 18-24°C (64-75°F), though it can tolerate down to about 10°C (50°F); avoid drafts. Though it tolerates normal household humidity, slightly elevated humidity will benefit it. Feed once or twice during the growing season with a half-strength balanced fertiliser.
