Peperomia argyreia, commonly known as the Watermelon Peperomia, is a popular and visually striking houseplant known for its distinctive, watermelon-like leaf pattern. The leaves are round to oval, with a characteristic silver-green coloration and dark green stripes running from the base to the tip, reminiscent of a watermelon’s rind. The plant has a compact growth habit, with a bushy, low profile, making it ideal for small spaces and desktop displays.
Always display dried flowers indoors, to keep them protected from the elements.
Keep your dried flowers away from direct sunlight, areas of bright light and away from humidity.
Sprinkling water or perfume can cause damage
Avoid crushing, pressing or folding flower.
If the preserved flower is stained by the dust, you can clean the preserved flower with the blower blowing softly 20cm away from the flower.
Temperature changes should be avoided to prevent humidity which could affect your blossoms.
