Hi friends,

I recently posted about my peperomia but realize that now her roots are exposed. Does she need a bigger pot? She’s also increasingly faded and droopy. I hope she doesn’t die. I’m gonna get a different pot and see if that helps. I hope so!

I would absolutely be pulling it out and checking the roots. If you find rot, the cut off anything dead and repot in fresh soil. Make sure your pot has drainage and that its 1-2” larger than the root ball.

These guys do not like having wet roots, so make sure to let it reasonably dry out before watering again.

They also like a lot of light, so make sure its getting enough of that.

Thank you! I’m gonna check on her. I put her back in the window I originally had her in. It’s a northwest facing window with bright indirect light. I’ve been putting her by a grow light but that might be part of the problem
