4" Watermelon Begonia (Pellonia repens)
Product Details
Brand: Plant
Watermelon Begonia, commonly sold as Pellionia repens or Pellionia pulchra, is a trailing tropical houseplant known for its patterned foliage and soft cascading growth. Its leaves feature shades of green, silver, and deep purple, creating a striped look that gives the plant its watermelon-inspired name. While it is commonly called a begonia, it is not a true Begonia.
For best growth, place Watermelon Begonia in medium to bright indirect light. It can tolerate lower light, but brighter indirect light will help support stronger color and fuller growth. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root issues.
This plant prefers warm temperatures and higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Higher humidity will help support healthy foliage and reduce crispy edges.
Watermelon Begonia is generally considered pet-friendly and non-toxic, making it a good option for homes with cats and dogs. As with any houseplant, it is still best to keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on leaves.
Watermelon Begonia is a great choice for plant owners who want a unique trailing plant with bold foliage and a soft tropical look. It is best suited for someone who can provide consistent moisture, indirect light, and higher humidity.
