Care Instructions:

☀️ Light: Bright indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water: Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry. Peperomias store water in their leaves, so they're more forgiving of underwatering than overwatering.

💦 Humidity: Average household humidity is perfect, though it appreciates moderate humidity.

🏡 Indoor/Outdoor: Best grown indoors. Can be grown outdoors in warm climates in a protected, shaded location.

🐾 Pet Safe: Yes. Non-toxic to cats and dogs.

🌱 Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Plant Parent Pro Tip:
If your Watermelon Peperomia starts looking a little droopy, check the soil before reaching for the watering can. These plants prefer drying out slightly between drinks and are much happier being a little thirsty than sitting in soggy soil. 🍉🌿✨
