# Over the past 3 weeks my peperomia has gone from super healthy, to…

_Posted by Rebecca on 2023-08-29_

Over the past 3 weeks my peperomia has gone from super healthy, to dropping leaves, droopy stems, curling leaves, and black marks on the leaves. I was on vacation for a week and the house did get a little warm, but she usually bounces right back. Yesterday, I tied up the stems to some dowels for support and repotted the soil, but this plant has never looks this sad before 😞 Any thoughts?

I think you did the right thing, I would cut off all of the black leaves.

my peperomia went through something similar after i left it for my mom to care for :( what I ended up doing was propagating from a leaf and nursed the main plant back to health. it bounced back amazingly…..but after quite a few months of it look very sad and limp

I’ve never propagated it before! I’ll have to give that a try, thanks!
