Water or sunlight issue, but probably water issue.

Looks like an early sign of under watering.

Hard to underwater most peperomia. Best guess is overwatering. Is the soil wet or bone dry? I mean dry thru out entire pot. If it is dry, he is under watered. If moist, he is over watered. If over, check root system for health.

I got this plant several years ago from a friend, and she had it in a pot without drainage. I have never repotted, and I usually just water without checking the soil, but I do go quite a while between watering. I'm definitely going to be repotting. I think I might try to chop and prop because it can no longer support itself. I'm gonna try some in leca, and hopefully something works.
