Peperomia 'Watermelon Red' in Vintage Greens Pot

The Watermelon Peperomia is a compact, tropical, evergreen perennial with highly decorative foliage. The leaves are reminiscent of the exterior of a watermelon! The gorgeous green tones of this indoor complement the vintage greens pot. 
Prefers well-drained soil and a warm humid environment. Position away from direct sun but in a bright room for best results, although they can tolerate lower light conditions. Allow water to dry out slightly between watering. 

Trinidad Scorpian Butch T Chilli
 The Butch T chilli is a medium sized bush with masses of red hot fruit. They are one of the hottest chillies in the world so must be handled with care. It should only be using in cooking and used in small quantities due to the extreme spice. Do not eat raw. 

Plant in a protected spot away from fierce sunlight and wind in a well draining soil. Regular feeding with a liquid fertilizer will help the plant looking lush and allows it to produce the best fruit.

SAVE WATER WITH RAPID SOAK

With the weather heating up, it's time to apply a wetting agent to pots and garden beds to ensure water is getting down to the roots where it is most needed.
When you water does it just sit on the soil surface or run off? Rapid Soak is the solution! Simply sprinkle a loose handful onto the soil's surface and water in and watch the water get quickly drawn down.
