Pellionia repens - Trailing Watermelon Begonia

Pellionia repens

Trailing Watermelon Begonia is an vining plant featuring dark green, lanceolate leaves with a light green central band. The overlap between the two colors creates a whispy, smoky pattern which is very eye catching. Sometimes the leaves will tinge pink or purple. They are carried on long, pink stems which spill over, making this plant an excellent choice for hanging baskets and containers alike.

Basic Care: Easy/Medium

• Watering: Keep it balanced—neither soaked nor parched. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again.
• Light: Prefers bright to moderate indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch those tender leaves.
• Soil/Drainage: Thrives in a peat-based, well-draining soil mix.
• Temperature/Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Average room temperature works but keep it away from frost.
