Help! I bought this peperomia on facebook from a plant group and I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now and it is not doing well at all. A few days after I got it, I discovered it had gnats in the soil so I repotted it and covered the new soil in neem oil to keep them away. I water it every week or so, according to my planta schedule, but it keeps losing leaves and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Any advice?
You might be overwatering or it might’ve developed fungus that the gnats are going after. I had this same problem when I first started and most of them died after developing gnats.

The soil looks terrible. Repot it immediately and use a high quality soil mixed with some coco coir and perlite. Make sure it gets lots of bright indirect light.

I think the gnats did some irreversible damage already :(
