Planta says that my pepperomia has medium water needs. Recently, there was a discussion about this type of plant, and the consensus was that they like to be moderately dry before being watered again. This plant has lost several leaves recently, from the bottom, and I am feeling concerned about her; am I overwatering her? Can anyone tell me exactly what percentage of moisture she should be at, before I water her again? TIA!
Depends on the peperomia. Their water needs can vary. Generally if leaves are thick, their care is more succulent like. Do some research on Google. The recommendations may vary but may give you a better idea of your plants particular needs. I several peperomia. Most I go towards dry side but my obtusifolia gets watered when bone dry.

I don't use a meter, so not sure. Most of mine seem about 50% dry based on chopstick or finger. I don't know what that equates to on the moisture meter
