Peperomia 'Watermelon' Gold Dust

Peperomia 'Watermelon' Gold Dust

Common Names: Rubber plant, Radiator plant

Peperomias are an all around excellent plant to take home - low maintenance (good for new plant caretakers), low-light tolerant as their natural habitat is the rainforest understory, and non-toxic to your animal friends! In addition to these stellar qualities, peperomia come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you'll likely find one that is especially interesting to you. This variety gets its affectionate name from the way its leaves look like the rind of a watermelon, and the stunning variegation that it produces in a gold dust color. 

Light: Shade Tolerant

Water: Occasional

Ease: Easy Breezy

Pet Friendly: Yes

Care: Peperomias are slow-growing and like to be slightly root bound, so you don't need to repot unless you see roots creeping out of the drainage holes of your pot.
