It looks like something is eating it

Yep, looks like caterpillar to me

My big leaved Peperomia all do this too, and I don’t know why. My guess is needing more humidity but 🤷

Mine are doing it too and I chalked it up to lack of humidity. I’m going to move it outside so it will be interesting to see how it does

Could be: under-watering, dry air, not enough light. Could also be a pet eating it, if you have cats this is likely.

I’d bet it’s under-watering, because this looks a lot like what happens to my thick-leaf Peperomia a when I let them dry out too much while they’re pushing out leaves.

Also could be that the leaves are being disturbed during the unfurling/growing process.

I know it's definitely not my cat eating it, as she can't reach it. I'll give her more water than I normally do, next time I water her.
