# Hi plant friends 🌿 I’m looking for some advice about my Watermelon…

Hi plant friends 🌿 I’m looking for some advice about my Watermelon Peperomia. I’ve recently noticed brown spots forming on some of the leaves. It’s still pushing new growth, but I’m worried something might be wrong.

I keep it in bright indirect light and water when the soil feels dry. Has anyone seen this before or know what might be causing it? Any tips would be appreciated!

It may be edema from overwatering. My watermelon seems to be extremely sensitive it.
