# Help! My watermelon peperomia, looks luscious from one side but sad…

_Posted by Olivia on 2024-03-17_

Help! My watermelon peperomia, looks luscious from one side but sad from the other. The first picture is what the side that's facing the window looks like. The other two are facing into my room. I've also noticed that it looks like something's been munching on her. Or drooping in the back and coughing, but I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Please help!

Try turning it every month, so you get even growth. I don’t know about the other problem though

peperomia should definitely be turned every watering or even sooner than that.

munching? they can attract caterpillars, I’ve read but that’s mostly when they’re planted outside. give it a good spray with some insecticidal soap just to be sure.

Switch it around from time to time so it can be balanced
