New #plantopedia post up on the blog today, friends—from our new resident Jungalista, @alecisamazing! Today we take a deep dive Into the #watermelonpeperomia
GET THE GREEN: Watermelon Peperomia (Peperomia Argyreia)
WATER: Peperomias have succulent like qualities and can tolerate some neglect between waterings. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. When it’s time to water give it a good soak and allow water to drain out. This species has a small root system so too much water will lead to root rot, yellowing leaves, or wilting. If you notice these signs let the soil dry out and adjust your watering schedule. During the warm summer months, they will require more frequent watering and then less frequently in the winter months.
SOIL: Regular potting soil with perlite to allow the roots more air circulation. Orchid potting medium if you want to go the extra mile and mimic its natural habitat. (Head to the blog to read the rest of the post and to ask Alec any plantie questions you may have!! #jungalow (📷 @alecisamazing )
