SOS!

I honestly have no clue what to do with this plant, it’s been like this since I got it.. new leaf means one drops and now it’s grown these spikes?! She’s in a very bright south facing window, any help if appreciated.

The spikes are its flowers.

I assumed that but I really want to help the leaves look better

You can snip off the flowers to give more energy to the leaves

Also, when you water, try not to get any water on the leaves. Or if you mist, make sure it’s a very fine spray so no water droplets stay on the leaves

I don’t know if this is the same type of pepperomia but…

In my experience Peperomia like bright indirect light so maybe too much sun in a a south facing window?
