Yes I know he’s broken, before I fell in love with house plants I had this as a gift a few years back, overwatered and neglected. I’d like to rescue him but I have no idea what he is? Anyone?🪴

Peperomia!

Or a “Baby rubberplant” looks like a variegated marble one

Thanks! Any advice?

I’d pot it with a chunkier soil mix, and don’t water unless completely dry. I definitely overwatered mine and two other types of peperomias 😅

They also like indirect, bright light. Stay away from direct sun. They can also tolerate lower light but just won’t grow as much.

I’d say def repot him into something a little bigger with drainage, that soil at the bottom Looks like it’s begging for mold and other build up!

I’m actually impressed it’s done so well in that setup!
