This plant is the very essence of summer! The Peperomia argyreia is also known as the Watermelon begonia. Its leaves look just like the skin of a watermelon. The Peperomia is easy to care for. The plant should occasionally be given a good splash of water and then left to dry out. This is much better for the plant than giving it a little water on a more regular basis. The water should be placed in the saucer, not poured over the leaves. It is important that the water is able to drain away and not remain in the bottom of the pot. The plant likes light, but not the blazing midday sun. Add a fresh and fruity element to your living room with the Watermelon begonia.
