I’m pretty new at working with Peperomia’s but Ofelia doesn’t seem very happy and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Looks overwatered to me

I too struggle with peperomias. I found they do better with bottom watering and indirect light since their leaves can be sensitive

I’ll give bottom watering a try! Thank you!

I have a self watering pot for mine and I’ve had no issues. It’s in a north facing window.

I have a pepperonia. Let it dry out between waterings. You will have no issues. If it gets to the point where it dries out quickly - you need to repot. I use a liquid fertilizer on the app schedule.

How’s the humidity? Mine looked like this until I took her in the bathroom while I showered. She perked right up

Oh I’ll definitely give that a try!
