    Ok I've never had a raindrop but I do have pepperomias. First of all, I wouldn't doubt if its overwatered. Take it out of the pot, check the roots. Trim off any brown, and mushy roots. Spray with hydrogen peroxide. Repot in well draining soil, a regular potting mix with some perlite and/or bark will be fine. If the soil it was in was damp or the new soil is damp wait a day or so to water. Trim off any dying leaves. And if it keeps getting worse, you can chop and prop. Actually, you could just do it right now, cuz you're gonna have a leggy looking plant for a while if you don't. When I prop them i do it in water, but I think you can in dirt too, just look it up.

      And in the future, make sure the soil is dry all the way down before you water it again. These things can actually store water in their leaves kinda like succulents. If the soil is dry and the leaves start feeling a little limp and rubbery, you pry need to water more often. Also I don't know what kind of light you have it in, but they do need decent lighting. Mine are either in East facing windows or under a grow light, west and south facing windows would pry work too..
