i would like to share a little progress update on my watermelon peperomia! these pics are about a month and a half apart. i was really struggling with the health of this plant, but it is so much healthier now ! still not perfect, it still has some curly leaves, but im seeing improvement !

I’m having some difficulties with mine as well. I would like mine to be more full. I was overwatering for a while which caused edema. I’m doing better with that now. What did you change to get the improvement in yours. I could use some tips.

I have a habit of killing peperomias from over watering too. so i think i was scared with this one and started under watering. I started bottom watering and I noticed a big difference.

also the miracle grow fertilizer sticks are really good. i buy them on amazon. that has definitely helped
