# I just adopted this green bean peperomia from my mom because it was…

_Posted by Sam 🪴🌷 on 2025-07-30_

I just adopted this green bean peperomia from my mom because it was really unhappy where it was at our cottage -on a windowsill getting a lot of light and water once a week- but it looks very strange and it keeps dropping leaves. I repotted it and watered it and put it in a less sunny area since I believed it was getting too much sun. What is wrong with her? How do I make her happy? She looks like a Dr Seuss drawing. Like she’s running away from her pot.

I think she’s so cute. I find they do well in an east facing window so not too much direct sun.

They like to dry out a good amount between watering especially after repot. How adorable I hadn't ever heard of green bean Peperomia
