Is that a succulent? How wet is the soil? I don’t know where you are, but you may want to let it dry out a little bit. I don’t know if you can put it in direct sunlight right now.

I would also suggest cutting the wick off the bottom of that plant if it’s being overwatered or move it to a pot that doesn’t have that wick. If this succulent is being overwatered, that wick is not helping the situation because of water will run out of it and the WIC will draw back in.

okay i’ll make sure to cut that off!

That is a wrinkled leaves peperomia variety might be “caperata”. My favourite plant but I’m really struggling with mine. Ive read to water with filtered or distilled water. Put in succulent mix with a bit of added soil but DON’T let dry out. Too bright of light will bleach the leaves. Semi-succulent.

I have mine I. Full sunlight and only water when the soil dries out like my desert rose

Isn’t that a different plant in your picture?

It was more about the care of a succulent than the actual plants
