I’ve only had it for a few days. I haven’t watered it because it was sitting in water at the store. What do I do to help it? ![Anhang 1 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jiRKONbJW2kRSYUB8D0IbeY7STxvZnEinY7qV-ynEVY/G7yNymzYSYKN2M50P-2jpA.webp?size=large) ![Anhang 2 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jiRKONbJW2kRSYUB8D0IbeY7STxvZnEinY7qV-ynEVY/U8Hhio0iQkWelDn0PEImTg.webp?size=large) ## 16 Kommentare ### Adrian kommentierte am 2025-02-18 I’d definitely check the roots for damage or rot to start, especially if it was originally sitting in water at the store. And just wanted to let you know your peperomia is a marbled peperomia obtusifolia, not a Ginny. If there’s any root rot, feel free to come back and I can walk you through how to treat the rot if you’d like. If the roots look good and it’s a new purchase, it’s possible it’s going through some serious shock from entering a new home, especially if it’s cold this season where you live. Hope this helps! #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-02-18 Thank you for letting me know! Also, I’ll take a look at them and see and let you know what they look like. Hoping for the best.. ### KJM kommentierte am 2025-02-18 Often times those little pots that plants come in do not have a drain hole. If it does have a drain hole I would follow Adrian's advice. If it does not have a drain hole I would repot it as soon as possible into something with appropriate drainage. You should probably even let it drain and dry a little in the air, maybe even a little fresh soil without disturbing too many of the roots before you put it into a new pot #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-02-18 Thank you for the advice! I’ll take a look at the roots and see if there the problem. ### Carolinagreenthumb kommentierte am 2025-02-19 First thing I thought was get it out of the water! Mine has gotten flopsy mopsy and I input it and let the soggy soil fall off the roots then put it into dry Miracle Grow Cactus, Palm and Citrus potting mix. It seems to be a good soil for my houseplants here in SW FL. Hope it recovers! 🪴 #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-02-19 I put it into a cactus and all purpose soil mix shortly after I brought it home. Do you think that would be okay? Also, I remembered that those are three separate plants in one pot, so I’m wondering if I need to put it into a separate pot? #### Carolinagreenthumb antwortete am 2025-02-19 That should have read “unpot”it….🙂 ### Adrian kommentierte am 2025-02-20 Hey, there 👋 thought I’d ask for an update if you still need help with your peperomia. Did you get to check the roots? 😶 #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-02-21 I haven’t been able to take a look just yet. Hopefully will be able to tomorrow! #### Adrian antwortete am 2025-02-21 Got it! Fingers crossed that there the roots are alright! 🤞 #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-03-03 Sorry, had the flu. The roots look fine! They don’t stink, and they appear to be healthy! I did repot the plant as soon as I got it because I didn’t know you wasn’t supposed to, but now this is all that I have left :( ![Anhang 1 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jiRKONbJW2kRSYUB8D0IbeY7STxvZnEinY7qV-ynEVY/3flW-t5JSFSvHkyflefKHg.webp?size=large) ![Anhang 2 von 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jiRKONbJW2kRSYUB8D0IbeY7STxvZnEinY7qV-ynEVY/cZGl-YDST2OgGCww52DuUg.webp?size=large) #### Adrian antwortete am 2025-03-03 Sorry to hear that 🫤 at least the roots are healthy, though! Now that it’s warming up again, hopefully it’ll start to recover and work on some new growth since it doesn’t have to focus on root development. Are you still looking for any help with it? Also, from the photos you attached, it looks like the plant you’re showing now isn’t a peperomia, so was this planted with the peperomia as well, or did you mean to post about this plant somewhere else? If this was planted with the peperomia, it looks like you’ve got a dieffenbachia or prayer plant there, which has different care needs than a peperomia, so if they were potted together that could explain the problems you had with both plants. #### Lauren antwortete am 2025-03-03 I apologize 🤦🏽‍♀️ wrong plant lol. The original plant on this post, I haven’t taken out and looked at just yet. It still looks the same and the leaves are still healthy, so I figured it’s just because I have 3 individual plants potted into the same pot and maybe that’s why they’re leaning? With this peperomia plant, it is dying left and right. I can’t seem to keep it happy. I did move it to a smaller pot since it was in a rather big pot for its root size, and hoping it does better :( _3 weitere Antworten in der App_ --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com).
