Help!! This is not a watermelon peperomia because the leaves are too dull and thick. What is this plant!? Looks like a watermelon begonia but clearly is not.

Wow it’s so beautiful! I added to my wishlist. But omg seems like it likes a lot of water.

I wonder if this plant would be great in a self watering or semi hydro system.
