Water your plant when the soil has almost dried out, avoiding the leaves. Give just enough water to make the soil slightly moist.

The Peperomia Watermelon lives under the cover of other plants in its natural habitat, so can tolerate shade but also enjoys bright to moderate light conditions, just avoid direct sunlight. This plant is also happy to sit under fluorescent lights, so makes the perfect office desk buddy.

When the air becomes dry in the summer months, mist the leaves every week or so to provide a little humidity. You could also place your plant in a bathroom or kitchen.

A light fertiliser can be used once or twice a year during the growing season, to keep your plant healthy.

The Peperomia Watermelon is considered non-toxic, so there is no need keep your plant away from children or pets.
