Is it watermelon season or just dreaming of gorgeous sunny days?! This stunning Watermelon Peperomia just feels like summer. The round fleshy leaves are striped with silver and dark green stripes similar to a watermelon. It is a low grower and only reaches 6 to 8 inches tall. This is a semi-succulent so it needs well-draining soil and some drying between waterings. It thrives in bright indirect sunlight. This plant is not toxic to cats or dogs and has no major pest or disease problems making it a great plant to start with.

- Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2", 4", or 6" planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.

This plant was bought for my after-school program and has been a big hit. We named her Macey, and we all love her. She is not hard to care for and is so cute to look at. Ordering was easy, and it was delivered in a very timely manner.
Beautiful, healthy plant. Very impressive packing. Fast shipping. Will buy again!
This plant arrived in great condition. You could tell great care was taken when packing it. It arrived quickly too and I was able to repot it and it’s been thriving! It is small though. The pot pictured is my own
My baby plants showed up very carefully wrapped and put on heat packs! The way they came packaged made me care even more about growing these babies. I cannot wait to see them flourish and I won’t let Verdant a Lyfe down! 🌱
LOVE her!!! She is just beautiful.
