# Larry is a peperomia columella that I got recently., and he’s…

Larry is a peperomia columella that I got recently., and he’s drooping. I mostly have cacti and they’ve all thrived so this is the first time I’ve worried. The internet seems to suggest he’s being overwatered but his soil seems really dry. He’s in a draining pot. He’s gets plenty of light. That’s my shadow in the photo. Thoughts?

Might be too much light right there ... Right in the window . Mine all prefer majority indirect light

I’ll try moving him into the space that is partially shady. I didn’t have the easiest time figuring out how to care for this succulent. I read they like more perlite in their soil too. As they mostly grow on mountains apparently. I just thought he looked interesting in the shop.
