Fun Fact About Watermelon Peperomia
It Flowers, but Not for Show
Although the Watermelon Peperomia is prized for its unique leaves, it does produce small, inconspicuous flowers on tall spikes. The flowers aren’t particularly decorative and are often overshadowed by the beautiful foliage. These greenish-white spikes appear primarily in the warmer months but are more of an added curiosity than a focal point.
A Glimpse Into the History of Watermelon Peperomia
Native to South America
The Watermelon Peperomia hails from the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil. Its native environment is humid and shaded, which is why it thrives in indirect light and higher humidity levels indoors. The plant was introduced to the houseplant community for its stunning, ornamental value and has since become a staple in indoor gardening around the world.
