Peperomia 'Watermelon Variegated'

🔥🍉 Peperomia ‘Watermelon Variegated’ / Peperomia argyreia variegata (pep-er-ROH-mee-uh ar-JEER-ee-uh VAR-ee-uh-gay-tuh) 🍉🔥

Also known as: Variegated Watermelon Peperomia, Watermelon Peperomia

A sweet twist on a classic favorite, Peperomia ‘Watermelon Variegated’ earns its name from leaves that look like little slices of watermelon — silver-green striped like rinds, splashed with creamy variegation, and sometimes blushed with pink. Compact and cheerful, this semi-succulent brings both texture and whimsy to your indoor jungle.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light. Variegation shows best with steady filtered light; too little light may fade the stripes. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves.
💧 Water – Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Its thick leaves store water, so it’s better to underwater than overwater. Needs well-draining soil.
🌡️ Humidity – Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%), but adapts to average household levels. Ideal temps: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from drafts.
🌱 Growth – Compact, clumping habit, usually reaching 6–12 inches tall and wide. Slow grower that thrives in small pots without frequent repotting.

📊 Difficulty: Easy (low-maintenance and beginner-friendly).

🐾 Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
This variegated form is rarer than the classic Watermelon, so each leaf feels like a collectible. Rotate for even striping, and show it off in a bright spot where the creamy splashes and blush tones glow like candy.
