This is the third time writing you my message. I could do it easier and faster by carrier mourning doves! Grrrrrr...

I'm attaching pics of a couple more new inside plants I rescued and loving playing with. What fun for me now that I again can have a few plants inside. I gave up my house plants, put outside what would survive and gave friends others when medical issues took over a few years ago. Now, I can care for them regularly and only have succulents, low light,low water, or low maintenance.

Also, they're all rescue -pious me..and new to me. I love they're quaintness, so unusual and all respond so well to love.

Water about 1-2x weekly only. Low fertilizer needs. Low light needs. Perfect for my current life.

Added pic of watermelon plant that is bursting out with new growth. Love the new line of pots now, too. Things change so fast!

Watermelon has doubled in size since got it...2 weeks for most of these newbees.

Ck out the one full, rounded, in a great natural stone pot. What is it? Love it. Doubled also, but may be getting a tiny bit too much lite, as leaves are a touch brown, crinkled on tips. Moved it back couple of feet to kitchen divider.

Money tree needs help. One larger trunk has survived, has a lot of new growth. 2 trunks were squishy and pulled out easily. Moss on top, not much soil. Do you know how to help it? Repot with some fresh soil? What kind? Succulent?

OK, my pain in hands, fingers, wrist, arms, back, neck....is sky high now using my cell to message you so I'm through. Hope you are well and enjoy your new babies.

Be safe. Be blessed. Elizabeth

pics didn't take on message. Here they are...

This looks like a watermelon plant. I have a small one too

This is a "watermelon" peperomia plant. It looks like the leaves may be a bit sunburned or it was allowed to dry out too much or watered too much. This type of plant grows in nature on the forest floor, likes shade & regular moisture, but not too much or it will rot.

So one tip with all plants - damaged leaves will not recover, and do not help the plant survive, so feel free to remove them.
A tip for peperomia is to plant it in soil that drains well, water as soon as the top of the soil is dry, making sure the extra water can drain out.

I just adopted 5 new plants last week - now searching through my pots for the right one for each.
