Help! As some of you may know I cut bad leaves off my plant a few days ago, now the stems of the leaves I cut off have fallen, and everything else is starting to fall too! One day, it’s very healthy growth coming from everywhere, I cut off the bad leaves, and now everything is going wrong!

Have you checked the roots and soil?

How do I check the roots?

#### Adrian respondió el 2024-06-17

Pop the plant out of the pot and use your fingers to gently take the soil off of the roots until you can see them. The roots should be light in color and firm. If they’re dark and mushy, they’re rotting. Peperomia are very susceptible to overwatering and as consequence, root rot and edema. If there are rotted roots, I can walk you through how to treat it

Okay thank you, I will check later and also update you later today

#### Adrian respondió el 2024-06-18

Sounds good! Good luck!

I can’t do it since I won’t be able to put the plant in after I do it
