#SEPTAZKA
TIPS:
-They don’t like water with chemicals, so use filtered, distilled, or rainwater if your tap water is chemically treated
Growing Conditions
Drainage is critical, so make sure the container has a drainage hole in the bottom. Peperomia grows in any good-quality, regular commercial potting soil or a homemade mixture containing ingredients such as compost, loam or peat moss. A handful of sand or vermiculite promotes drainage
Sun
Watermelon peperomia thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Although most types of peperomia thrive in bright light, too much light fades the bright colors of the variegated foliage. Indoors, a window with an eastern exposure provides excellent light. Outdoors, grow the plant in light shade or filtered light.
Water
Watermelon peperomia is a tropical plant that prefers humid conditions but is prone to stem rot in soggy soil. Water the plant deeply when the top of the soil feels slightly dry. Let the pot drain completely and never allow the plant to stand in water. Check outdoor plants daily during warm weather. In fall and winter, water sparingly and allow more time between each watering so the soil has time to dry a bit more than usual. If the air is dry in summer, increase humidity by setting the container on a humidity tray -- a tray with a layer of wet pebbles.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
Since plants are living things like us, they grow and change- just as we do! Unless the listing states otherwise, photos are ONLY representations of can be expected.
Minimal amounts of damage during shipping is very common, dropping yellow leaves/damaged leaves is a normal occurrence. I can truly only guarantee that the plant will be alive upon arrival with a healthy root system in place. I do my best to pack the plants safely to prevent any damage. Remember: Plants grow and change so even if a leaf or two arrives with some damage they will put out new ones!
As somebody who also frequently buys plants online, I understand the excitement of receiving a plant in the mail! I also understand disappointment of receiving something that is not what you anticipated. I do my best to make sure the plants I provide are happy and healthy, however if something is not what you pictured then of course, please feel free to contact me.

Our shop is NOT responsible for any cold damage the plant may experience during shipping.
