# Noticed my peperomia hope was dropping leaves, so repotted it…

_Posted by Jess3311 on 2024-07-30_

Noticed my peperomia hope was dropping leaves, so repotted it yesterday in a more shallow pot with fresh dry potting soil. This morning, I noticed a couple more leaves had dropped. Any advice ?

it’s looking leggy — what’s the lighting situation?

I have it under a grow light, but not directly under it . Maybe 2-3 feet or so underneath . You think I should move to a brighter spot ?

You might wanna move it to a brighter spot. The current leaf drop might be from shock after the repotting. Maybe try an east or west windowsill if you can.

Mine sits in a west facing window — the grow light is probably just too far away. You could move it closer
