I have had this peperomia for 5 months now, and I keep seeing two problems. 1) the bottom leaves get large and turn yellow and die off. And then 2) the healthy green foliage never grows any bigger. The leaves stay small, and the overall plant is the same size as when I got it. It just sprouted these two flowering rods, but no other visible growth. I have it in bright indirect light, and I have repotted it and pretty sure no bugs or root rot. Any suggestions?
Definitely remove those blooms because they can prevent the foliage from thriving. Have you ever fertilized it? I am pretty sure it’s normal for peperomia to stay relatively small though.
1 me gustaI did fertilize a while ago, but it still stayed the same. I’ll just have to learn to love the small compact size it is 😊

mine looks exactly the same with the same problem. it just doesn’t grow and i think it will always look like that. i tried more and less sunlight. i tried fertilizer. i tried repotting. i think that’s just what the plant looks like
1 me gustaYes, you are probably right, because I have also tried those things and it always looks the same. Thank you!

Yup. Same same. My favorite part is its weird alien pink stemmed flowers actually. So i let them grow and I know its happy when i get dozens of them at once. Mine stays relatively same size too, but goes through cycles with old dying off and new ones taking there place. Yours looks good and healthy!
