I’ve had this peperomia for a couple of months. I had originally potted it in the same pot as a peperomia ‘Russo’.

This ’Silver Leaf’ has a bunch of leaves that are a bit distorted. So I repotted it by itself, thinking maybe it didn’t like sharing space.  
It’s still weird looking though. I can’t see any pests. The pot has good drainage. I’m at a loss. Any ideas?

It could be a humidity problem 🤔 I’ve found peperomias like to let you know if they’re around a spot that’s too dry or too cold for them, so if they’ve been in a spot near a drafty window, frequently opening door, or air vents recently, that could be the cause of it. You could try moving it away from such a spot to see if that’s the case. It might help to be placed near a humidifier too (this one really doesn’t like misting, though, so I’d stick with a humidifier here). My other guess would be an effect of fertilizing inconsistency or over fertilizing, which is only the case if you do fertilize this plant.

Third possibility I can think of at the moment is a bit of shock from the repot, but that’s only if the leaves started getting distorted after the repot, cause I’ve definitely found that the peperomia caperatas and similar varieties with thinner leaves can go through some serious shock after a repot, especially if done in the colder months. Hope this can help rule some possibilities out for you.

That may be part of the problem! I mist it regularly. Planta tells me to. But I’ll stop doing that and put it near a humidifier.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate your comments! 🥰

No problem! Peperomias are one of my favorite houseplants, so I’m happy to help 😊 one of the things that helped mine when it got a little unhappy from being in a cold window was putting a ziplock bag over the leaves. Might sound silly, but keeping the bag open and gently placing it over the top of the plant until the zipper reaches the lip of the pot really helped my plants for a while until I could get a grow light so I could move them out of the frosty windowsills they were in. The trick with it, though, is to wipe the inside of the bag dry once a week so the leaves don’t get wet from the new humidity in the bag. Really saved them for me without needing to buy a humidifier just for the winter months. Forgot to mention that idea earlier 😅
