Is this from too low humidity?  
I see no pests. And it’s only this one and my baby rubber plant that are crumbly like this

It looks like it just got damaged or you have a cat that is eating it.

We don’t have a cat. It could be physical damage you think ? Maybe from being repotted 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think just physical damage.

scarring like this on peperomia can happen due to under watering as well. how often do you water? for most peperomia species waiting until about 1/3 of the total soil is dry is long enough between waterings

Hi, I just follow the Planta schedule.  
Do you think they get too dry in a terra cotta pot? Maybe I should switch it to ceramic?
