# My vining peperomia recently had mold in her soil took that off and…

_Posted by Ev on 2025-07-19_

My vining peperomia recently had mold in her soil took that off and repotted her with better soil recently. Even before that the leaves just fall off easily and since the repotting some bottom leaves are a splotchy muddy color. I want to save this baby and i cant figure out how?! (Shes indoor outdoor for 6 hours most days to get sun otherwise she has a grow light)

How often are you watering? Peperomia's like bright indirect light. Full sun is definitely too much for them. I would also make sure the soil is well draining. 😊🪴

From what I can see, the plant is dehydrated and in too much sun. They are semi succulents and are able to store a lot of moisture, but the sun may be drying it out too quickly. They normally like to go dry between waterings, but maybe you are going past that tolerance. Maybe, once back to healthy, switch out the soil for a succulent mix. I have 6 thriving peperomia, all in a succulent soil.

i have a similar one that I just repotted \& lost a bunch of leaves which rotted literally overnight. Can't figure out what happened.
