# Hello there, I am in the process of trying to figure out how to help…

_Publié par Deanna le 2024-09-26_

Hello there,  
I am in the process of trying to figure out how to help my pepperomia. I am a newbie, and have purchased a few “easy” plants for my north-facing balcony and am trying not to kill anything. This plant looked great for a while and last week I noticed a few leaves were looking yellow-ish and some leaves crusty and dry at the tips. After some online investigation it appears it might be overwatered and possibly needing more light so I placed it in a corner of my balcony with brighter light but it has continued to decline. Today I purchased a terracotta pot and re-potted it but the roots and soil felt healthy and dry, not what I expected from an over-watered plant. The shriveled, rotting leaves that I pulled off however were gooey at the base of their stems. I have also purchased a grow light I am waiting to be delivered to aid some plants that might need a little extra. Am I on the right track?

try not to make anymore changes for a bit — give it time to adjust. not sure where you’re located, but if it’s too cold at night that could be causing some problems

Ok. I’m in Florida and except for bringing my plants inside tonight to wait out the hurricane I’ll give it some time:) thank you!
