Commonly called the watermelon peperomia (because the patterns on the foliage resemble those on the rind of a watermelon), the silver and green leaves form a decorative, dome-shaped cluster. A low-growing, ornamental house plant, it will look great when nestled amongst it's neighbours, or placed on a bright windowsill or ledge.
