Peperomia Watermelon - Juice Box Jungle: Unique Foliage Houseplant

Step right up and meet the quirky, the colorful, the totally tropical Peperomia Watermelon, AKA Juice Box Jungle! Native to the lively and lush lands of northern South America, this charmer proudly waves its green leaves streaked with silvery stripes that mimic the look of fresh watermelon—no seeds, though! Complete with juicy red stems, it adds a splash of nature's whimsy to any indoor space. Just a heads-up: it won't grow to 20 feet but will stand tall (up to 20 cm!), promising to be your new favorite leafy companion. And hey, why limit yourself to just one? Because, *Limit 2 Per Customer*! That's why.

• Air Purifying: Helps keep your indoor air fresh and clean.

Care Instructions:

Juice Box Jungle likes to chill in bright, indirect light—think morning sun or filtered afternoon glow. Water when the top half-inch of soil feels dry; overwatering is its kryptonite. It prefers a cozy room temperature between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and appreciates high humidity, though it's not too fussy. A little misting here and there, and it’ll be living its best plant life. Feed it with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, and voilà!
