WATERMELON PEPEROMIA

Size: 6 to 8 inches tall
Water: Water moderately, allowing the soil to become dry to the touch before rewatering. Overwatering can
cause root rot.
Fertilize: Apply a balanced 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season, from mid-March to
November. Cease fertilizing in winter when plant growth slows down.
Looking like a potful of mini watermelons atop red stems, this green-and-silver striped peperomia begs to be
noticed. A nearly foolproof houseplant for beginners, it rarely needs repotting and doesn’t mind a bit of neglect
