Are you using any fertilizer?

#### Logan svarede den 2026-10-10

Not currently. It’s my boyfriend’s plants so I will have to put him on to my plant food I use. It works mericales

To me it looks like it needs fertilizer, but I’m not an expert!

You need to lessen the water if you are watering it too much. Peperomias need water every 4 days.

It may need more light. They enjoy very bright light. Soil should be fast draining. The terracotta planter was a great choice. I have several, I allow the soil to go totally dry between waterings.

Do the leaves bend easily and feel soft / flimsy? That most likely means it needs more water, not less. Peperomia store water in their leaves which is what makes them feel firm / thick, and it’s also why you don’t want to water them too often, but when the leaves get thin and easily bendable it usually means they’ve lost all the water in their leaves and they’re ready to be watered again.

Feed it! Mist it and wipe off the leaves, they love to be loved! I feed mine every six weeks and fertilize every 90 days. I clean mine once a month.
