🌞 Light Requirements

Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its striking variegation. Avoid direct sun that can fade or burn the leaf surface. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with filtered light.

💧 Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist — water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Avoid overwatering; Peperomia Watermelon enjoys moderate hydration and good drainage. Use pots with holes to prevent soggy roots.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Ideal range: 18–30°C. Performs well in normal indoor humidity but loves occasional misting. Keep away from cold drafts or air conditioners.

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

Use a well-draining, aerated potting mix with cocopeat, compost, and perlite. Feed monthly during the growing season with a mild liquid fertilizer to enhance leaf gloss and growth.

✂️ Care & Maintenance

Wipe leaves gently to highlight their metallic sheen. Remove old leaves for fresh growth. Repot every 1–2 years to renew soil and root space.
