Problem with my watermelon peperomia : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2)- 1 Mb each. I bought this watermelon peperomia a few weeks ago. I live in Mumbai.

What am I not doing right? Younger leaves generally light green or yellowish green. Watch for some more time till they mature. If the problem persist add cow dung manure (handful) .
