I know I’m new to this to have such a drama queen of a plant… but I love polka dots so much. What does she need?

Nevermind my empty “watermelon pot,” it’s for my peperomia that’s being hydrated 🍃

Don’t want to jinx it but my Dottie is THRIVING. It’s been finding the right bright indirect light, using distilled to water, making sure she doesn’t get too dry or stay too wet for too long. Just got her a few months ago and can already see tons of growth and nice big leaves. Hope yours thrives too!!

Thank you! Yours is beautiful!! I’m going to use distilled with her and see what happens. I have grow lights because of my dreaded north-facing window and sliding glass door but I’m certain light isn’t the issue because I have ample grow lighting. She’s the only one who’s finicky in that area!!

Mine was looking like that until I got it very close to a humidifier. Now there isn’t a dry spot anywhere.
