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.

Been a rough start looking sad, and leaves turning black. I did repot hopefully the plant will come around.
I highly recommend this company as the plants came packaged nicely and look beautiful!
Packaged well, lost some soil and a leaf but it’ll pull through
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.
The cutest little nursery plant and so beautiful. I can't wait to watch it grow!
