looks quite dry maybe a water 😊

thank you!

How old is the soil? If it's old it might have turned hydrophobic (repels water) so maybe try a soil change

#### Charlie replied on 2023-10-23

the soil is still relatively new

#### Charlie replied on 2023-10-23

definitely gonna give it some more water though

Peperomia ferreyrae don’t like to completely dry out and that soil looks bone dry and hydrophobic

#### Charlie replied on 2023-10-23

the soil is alright but i'll give it a nice soak thank you

#### Mia replied on 2023-10-24

I would still recommend changing the soil even if it's newer as it really doesn't look right.
