My Peperomia Frost :3
This is my frosty dude (Gael).
I’ve had him for a few months and he’s been so happy! I repotted him after about the first month as I thought his leaves were growing so much that I figured he could use it.
I potted him in a 6 1/2in deeper pot (way to big of an upgrade, I know that now), with drainage and used a the miracle grow succulent soil. I noticed that about after a month, the soil was still damp. And then this morning, there were a few fungus gnats swarming it! I immediately thought of the worst so I took him out of his pot and downsized to a terracotta 4 1/2 in pot, with new soil (same bag but dry). I checked the roots for rot and everything seemed just okay but way too damp for 1 month later… The leaves are still plenty healthy and vibrant.
Can anyone tell me if I messed up with my repotting here? Or if there’s another step I should take or missed? I didn’t re-water as the soil near the roots as still pretty damp. Thanks! :)
