I will be downsizing pots for my peperomia; as a relatively new plant hobbyist I am learning as I go.

I recently just learned this also!

I’m right there with you — I’ve downsized a handful of plants this season as well.

If I have some struggling plants I’ll pot them with another variety of the same plant or with similar care needs that is doing well. The combined root system seems to be more resilient 🌱

We learn a lot fast when we get mixed up in this! I’ve made so many mistakes.
