My watermelon peperomia is brown on mainly underside of leaves. A little bit on top. No pests but I am curious how I can prevent this and what may be causing it? Any ideas?

I would LOVE to know an answer to this! Mine is super healthy from the front, and constantly putting out new growth. But the back side has all those brown markings too.

Is there any yellow? I’d guess fungus or sun damage, but can’t tell for sure from the pictures.

No yellow. Bright indirect light (north window)

Mine did this when I overwatered it
