Peperomia argyreia (Miq.) É.Morren is one of the beloved houseplants because of its striking oval, almost round leaves with silver-green color stripes. The perfect leaves look like mini-watermelons, especially with the red stalks. It is therefore no wonder that this plant is also called ‘Watermelon’. The Peperomia has a fairly modest and compact size.
Genus name comes from the Greek words peperi meaning pepper and homoios meaning resembling. The plants resemble, and are closely related to, true black pepper (Piper nigrum).
