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?
