I think it’s nearing the end for my poor peperomia. I found it had root rot so I treated it and put it in water, but that was a bad decision as now all the leaves are squishy and wilted. I’m sorry little buddy :(

Maybe you could still save it! Try removing it from the water and repot it but allow it to dry before watering.

Thanks, I suppose I’ll try that. I have some propagations going in case it dies 👍

Mine came back from something similar. I grew her in perlite for a bit until I could get the watering down. Then I put her in a 50/50 soil mix and she continued to thrive. When I repotted again a couple of weeks ago, I added a more dense mix so she could retain water better
