Does anyone know why my watermelon peperomia? I just can’t seem to find my stride with this plant. I’ve had it since July and have struggled with it. It drops leaves and it gets brown spots on the back of the leaves. Pest free.

    Mine’s super dramatic too. I stuck a little stake in the dirt just to glees some of the leaves up and that’s seemed have helped (so it can’t droop and get little light)

    Probably too much water. Peperomias are semi succulent. They need very gritty soil and to be dried out between waterings. I have a few frost peperomia. All from this plant. It also gets a little sun in the morning and a grow light rest of day.

    I do think these are harder than other peperomia. Mine does better when I don't fret about it and I ignore it and give it a chance to rebound or leave
