Is this normal?? She’s in my South facing covered porch.

I wonder if she is getting too much sun? Is there a lot of direct sun despite the porch cover? My peperomia are doing well in an eastern facing window with indirect light.

Yeah I would think that it’s getting too much sun or maybe you didn’t acclimate it properly. I put mine on my north facing covered balcony and it loved it

I’m wondering if it’s more likely that aside from being in brighter light (which, I agree they tend to do just fine in lower light, and some peperomias’ leaves will lighten from being in too bright a spot), it looks more like the leaves got wet then were exposed to the bright light conditions it’s currently in, scorching the leaves. Do you by any chance mist this plant, or is it possible it was left outside in the rain, or the leaves got wet during watering? If that’s the case, I’d probably chalk this up to the leaves getting burned from being wet while exposed to direct sun. Hope this helps.

This! I bet it was from this.  
It gets a little direct sun as it comes around but not much.  
I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!!!

No problem 😉
