This is Pépé, he was my first plant, a Peperomia Pereskiifolia. Pretty chill guy, never any drama with him but he hasn’t grown since summer when he was the healthiest. I’m not sure If it’s just the coldness of winter or if I’m doing something wrong

He’s also been relocated from the window because I think it was too cold for him

I would say put him back near a window (not sure how cold your window is though) and water less. It’s also normal for growing to slow down or stop in the cold months too though as it’s not their growing season. They’re resting. 🙂

That’s great!

Did this the past two days he seems happier :)

Too warm or too cold temperatures can make a peperomia go dormant and slows its growth. Insufficient light, fertilizer, and under watering can slow growth. You’ve moved it from the cold window. Trying adding a grow light giving at least 8 hours of illumination per day. Add diluted fertilizer each month to boost growth. Check the roots. I believe some peperomias like being a little root bound. But, a soil change can add fresh nutrients that are quickly used up in a small pot. I recommend making gradual changes to avoid shocking the plant.
