Help! All the leaves of my red ripple peperomia are falling off and I have no idea why. Any tips to save this plant? Also the first picture is what this plant looked like a couple weeks ago vs what it looks like now

    Mines just did this too and I’m still wondering what happened. Looking forward to hearing what insight is provided

    Root rot? If it is rinse the roots super good and disinfect (make sure it’s plant safe) and repot with new well draining soil, and make sure you don’t overwater.

    I had a watermelon peperomia and mine did the same:( so I lost her. I’d love to hear others advice as well!! I believe they need high humidity

    I have a Chinese money plant “sugar” (same species) I water when soil is dry. Filter (from fridge) or bottled water is what I use. City water has killed so many plants of mine. I don’t use a humidifier but I do have 5 plants around this one. I believe they create their own humidity

    Aw sad. I lost two large peperomias at the same time a couple years back. For me it ended up being a thrips infestation. The ripple peperomias were the first to go I believe because the stems are so delicate. Pests can make quicker work of them than plants with plants woody stalks. So sadly, I would recommend checking for pests if you feel that over/under-watering isn’t a possibility
