Peperomia argyreia have large fleshy leaves that they lazily hold onto from their natural home in the cozy nooks and crannies of their forest homes, between rocks and in the armpits of trees. Though they love being pampered with natural fertilizers and light (shimmering with bright silver streaks that led to its namesake argyreia, meaning silvery), their plump leaves, attached to red watermelon-juice-coloured straws are quite easy-going, with a rather simple ability to thrive.

How to Care for Watermelon Peperomia, Peperomia Argyreia?

Epiphytic plants that cling to the forest trees of South America, this plant prefers shadier (but brightly lit) environments, where their need are lazily displayed in their leaves (which pucker when dry) and stems (which grow limp, dropping their leaves, when mis-watered). In general, these plants love chunky soil (like epiphytic aroids).
