I bought this cutie (I believe a peperomia??) at my hardware store for .90🙀I’d love to help it thrive so I’ve repotted with a mix of perlite, orchard bark and standard potting soil. But I’m noticing some leaves are super weak, almost wilting. Does anyone have any ideas? It’s on my patio that faces south and gets a lot of mid to late afternoon sun. Please notice the leaves at the top of the stalk with the adorable pink blooms. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gaT74gr6jILhIkIWYrlbMiDa_Gp6kdUB4vWdZzsZPik/aifdRgOwQfG9vLD5j13NlA.webp?size=large) ## 7 comments ### brianna commented on 2024-07-03 It’s trailing mezoo sunrose, or heart leaf ice plant as planta has it. They don’t like their leaves to be soaking in water so be careful when watering it to not over water or allow the leaves to soak in water. Heres a pic of mine, it’s definitely not as mature as yours but I did have a flower last month! #### brianna replied on 2024-07-03 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/T7NBYVEeb3GVwwaxgzGpTtd7i9XxZsFyTz-EKp2lQ9k/xd9k4y_jT4ihmb5UftypSA.webp?size=large) #### brianna replied on 2024-07-03 It should keep sprouting leaves where the others fall off so don’t stress if you lose some. #### Jess replied on 2024-07-04 Thank you so much for your insight! Much appreciated and great tip about the leaves not wanting to be wet. Definitely be more careful when watering next time! ### Adrian commented on 2024-07-04 Completely agree with Brianna here. Here’s the ID for the plant #### Jess replied on 2024-07-04 Thank you so much!! #### Adrian replied on 2024-07-04 No problem! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
