This stunning and distinctive Watermelon Peperomia has rounded, droplet-shaped striped leaves. Tiny green flower spikes appear in summer.
Most Peperomia are native to sub-tropical areas of South and Central America but they can also be found in Africa, South Asia, and Oceania. The genus is in the family Piperaceae (the pepper family).
Due to the fact that Peperomia like warm air, they are commonly known as Radiator Plants. They are also non-toxic to pets who like to chew plants!
