hello and happy valentines day everyone!!  
ok, so recently my peperomia plant started doing not to hot and i asked for some advice on here and i was told that she definitely needed watered and more sun so i moved her in front of a grow light, but she seems to have gotten worse and i was wondering if anyone had any advice on why her leaves are drooping and curling up and why she hasn’t had any new growth?? i’d appreciate it guys!! thank you! \<333

Does your pot have drainage holes?

#### kitkat! replied on 2024-02-14

yes it does! and it works really well from what i’ve noticed! :)

The only thing I know is that leaves curl like that as a defense from new intense light (rapid evaporation). You need to find a good mix of water and light. Give it a bit of time to acclimate.

They said more water? In my experience they do t require a lot of water. The are more succulent. Which is why that type of pot is tricky. It could be sitting in water at the bottom that hasn’t drained. If that’s o e of those pots with h th e saucer attached. If the leaves are getting soft and mushy it rot due to over watering. If it’s crispy then it underwater watered.  
Either way have to checked the roots for root rot?
