Item description for Rare Polynesian Ivy Trailing Watermelon Vine Pellionia Repens Begonia Houseplant

You will receive two fresh unrooted cuttings

Pellonia repens is a hard to find and uncommon genus. Also known as Polynesian Ivy or Watermelon Vine - because the leaves look like tiny watermelons. :) Originally from Asia this is one of the few that are found in cultivation and they make beautiful houseplants. They can also make a good ground cover in warm & humid locations. Pellonia repens has small variegated leaves in green, purple, and silver, with darker stems that can tend toward black or purple. They prefer low indirect light instead of direct sunlight. This is a great plant to hang in an area of your house that is not as bright but could use a pretty plant! Just keep them moist and they will be happy!The leaves stay darker and smaller in lower light areas and become longer and lighter with more sunlight.

This item is shipped in moist towel.

**Shipping**

I combine shipping. Please check out my other listings! To combine shipping please add items to your cart and do one single checkout. Please request an invoice for orders over 3+ items as the shipping rates tend to become exaggerated and I will adjust them for you. I can fit multiple items into one flat rate box to save $$. Happy planting!

Shipping is done early in the week to avoid long exposures over the weekend. Every now and then things do happen at the Post Office during shipping which can leave your plant damaged beyond saving. All I ask is for a picture of the DOA plant immediately upon receipt and I will replace the item. Normal shipping wear should be expected – leaves may fall off or soil can be disrupted. These items ship from Florida. If it is cold out there in your area some plants will hold up fine during shipping but heat packs are available. They are listed separately in my shop for $2.00 if you feel you need one. I will not replace for cold damage if you choose not to purchase the heat pack.

Most importantly -- I appreciate my buyers!!! Please contact me with any plant concerns or questions before leaving feedback. I am here to help. :)
