Left my little pilea peperomiodes for a week and itās dropping like crazy, but worried I overwatered! From the photo can anyone tell what I did wrong or how to fix the little guy? TIA šš¼

Always prop your plants when you get one. That way you never lose your plants. Maybe remove all the soil and check to roots. Also, the soil doesnāt look very airy. Maybe get some new soil to repot

Tee JayReally hard to tell what went wrong without knowing the conditions or any more information. What I can tell you is that this is not a peperomia. This is a pilea peperomiodes

Maybe thatās where I have gone wrong š¤£š¤£š¤£ it was a bigger plant, I left for 2 months and my fiancĆ© left for 3 weeks at the end of that and it basically died ā¦. I tried growing it back from a few babies but then it just started to constantly droopā¦. I might have overwatered. Itās currently sitting on a window seal that gets sun most of day but only a little harsh direct light

MaraOh gosh this is such an iffy situation. It does look overwatered from how light its color is. It seems the location you have it in getting lots of natural light is helping to keep it alive while the root system is weak. It definitely needs better soil and a smaller pot but Iām not even sure that I would remove it from the pot itās in just yet. Kinda wish I was there with you so we could figure it out š

Oh youāre the sweetest. Yeah I went to take it out when repotting the others today but decided not to yetā¦. Iām thinking to maybe just let it dry out for a few days then lift it to see what the root system looks like ā¦.. you think it needs a smaller pot? Did you see the progress photos in above comment

Yes I did. Yeah I can see myself possibly waiting on this one. Itās been there the whole time waiting for you and wants to live. I do think it needs a smaller pot now but in the meantime try to prop it up with a stone or anything you can find to help it stand up a bit.

Ma GDoes this plantar have drainage holes. Itās very important to have drainage otherwise the roots can rot.

Yes it does, maybe itās not draining well enough though as itās very small

You might want to re pot with fresh soil. These plants are very finicky And prone to pests. Iām having difficulty with my plant too. Itās droopy as well. Following your post to learn more. I killed two of these plants. My other plants are all doing well.
