Peperomia argyreia – Watermelon Peperomia Lighting & Position
Peperomia will thrive in a medium-light position but can also tolerate lower-light conditions. They can handle small amounts of direct light indoors as well.
Peperomia argyreia – Watermelon Peperomia Watering
Peperomia are semi-succulent so allow the top few cms of soil to dry out between watering. To monitor this, you can use your finger to poke into the top 5 cm of potting mix and feel the soil moisture level before watering. If it feels wet, let it dry out for longer. Overwatering can lead to fungal issues or root rot. If the leaves are drooping or curling at the edges you might need to water a little more. Try watering once a week, using just enough water to start to see some draining from the bottom of the pot. During winter, when the plant isn’t in an active growing phase you should reduce watering frequency.
With all plants, drainage is essential. Ensure that whatever vessel your plant is in, there are sufficient holes in the bottom to allow excess water to freely drain from the pot and away from the plant’s roots.

Peperomia argyreia – Watermelon Peperomia Extra Tips
Once a month you can wipe down the plant leaves using a damp cloth to clean away any dust that has collected and may be preventing the leaves from breathing. It’s completely normal for older leaves, typically around the base of the plant, to fade in colour or brown off as they age. Prune off any damaged or dying leaves using a sharp pair of scissors or secateurs so that the plant can put more energy into the newer, healthier growth.
