My peperomia is sick and I’m really not sure what’s going on. I originally planted it in a pot that was too big, which was what started the leaves drooping and dying. Yesterday I moved it into a smaller pot with better drainage - and the roots looked really good. Is there anything else I can do it for it to help it recover?

Maybe…no expert here but trim off dead leaves, set the pot on an old towel to try and soak up any excess moisture from the bottom and take something like a chopstick and make holes in the soil to encourage airflow. Place ir where it can get a light breeze and wait. The leaves store water so  
It may need to dry out for a while. Better to underwater than overwater.

Their roots are very shallow. I always start them off in shallow terracotta pots. I use high grit soil mix and only water when the soil is dry. The succulent soil and shallow terracotta help keep them from getting overwatered. And they enjoy bright light.
