A very pretty but undemanding little plant, Peperomia argyreia enjoys warm conditions, moderate lighting and low watering. It will thrive under fluorescent lights in an office environment or in a shadier position in the home. Red stems support glossy leaves that are beautifully patterned with sweeping silver and green stripes, earning it the name ‘Watermelon Peperomia’. Height and spread: 20cm (8in).

Grow in moderate indirect light in temperatures from 18-24°C. Avoid direct sunlight which will scorch the leaves. During the growing season, water from below when the soil has almost dried out. Do not overwater. Apply a dilute liquid fertiliser a couple of times during the spring/summer. Ease off watering during the winter, allowing the soil to remain on the dry side.
