Watermelon Peperomia Plant
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.
