Hi everyone, I need help with my peperomia watermelon. Two days ago was looking good but yesterday its leaves started to droop. Does anyone have any advice.

Peperomia hold water in their leaves so if it was quite sudden, it may be under-watering? Equally, overwatering can cause root stress \& similar drooping. It could also be temperature if you’ve moved it into a draft, a window at night, a radiator or ac unit, they’re quite sensitive to temperate I think. It looks pretty healthy otherwise, so probably just complaining about a change in conditions

this doesn't seem like a watermelon to me.. i think you have a pilea. still, check for root rot, fungal infection, anything crawling on the plant. i'd adjust your watering schedule.

Thanks for the advice, I will be checking the roots. Here's a picture of the before
