# I opted to put my watermelon peperomia in a hanging basket and now…

_Posted by 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵 on 2025-06-07_

I opted to put my watermelon peperomia in a hanging basket and now she just looks sad and Droopy but IDK if that's just how it looks because of gravity? She was looking up in the one picture before I put her in the basket now she's sort of looking down, she okay or nah 😩🌱🍉

Did u completely repot her?

Yes we completely repotted her I'd say around a month ago if that I actually hadn't considered that possibility 🤔

It could’ve just been too many changes at once

I had this happen to me, I pretty much put a humidifier by her and left her alone for about a week and eventually watered her and. She perked back up

Oh do you think I'm over watering her? She's so high up I really can't check the water meter that well anymore she's in a sunroom that stays in the 70% Plus humidity range and I mist her.. maybe I should mist her more, if I turned a humidifier on in there right now it'd be like 85% humidity haha yeah I break out the humidifiers in the winter and I have a zip wall up to keep the humidity in for the tropicals
