These guys are always wilting and sad. It’s not close to a window, but there is natural light in the room. It was great until I repotted it months ago and now it’s just always sad.

What kind of plant is that? The leaf shape is so cute

### Plant Father commented on 2023-10-31

it appears it’s not getting enough light, and there is some watering issue likely due to the pot choice. did the roots almost fill out the pot when you repotted? how often do you water— is the soil totally dry, halfway, or still moist?

It says “wrinkled leaves peperonia” I moved it closer to a window. I follow Planta and it says water every 17 days. I replanted it into the same pot it was already in, which it took it all up but since has died off and is not taking up the space anymore

i would repot into a much smaller pot with well-draining soil (at least 50% drainage material) and either put it under a grow light or in a window if your windows are insulated against the cold. watering every 17 days may be too often but it’s impossible to tell without knowing how dry the soil gets in between. if you notice root rot while repotting (any black and mushy roots) trim them back heavily and spray with hydrogen peroxide (3%) before repotting
