What’s causing my leaves to develop like this??
I bought this peperomia from Easy Plant - it’s self watering.
Is this the issue here? A few of the leaves have developed like this and I’m wondering if it’s from too much water? I am new to plants in general. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Treated with a DIY insecticidal soap
I treated 2 of my pothos with a home made insecticidal soap (water, neem oil, castile soap, and isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle). I got the recipe from a famous plant influencer who uses it on her plants. One of the leaves is now curled like this- I will attach another picture in the comments.
Did any of the ingredients cause this? Was it the isopropyl alcohol? I only added a little bit. I am trying to spray as a preventative every 2 weeks.

I sprayed my marble queen last night with the Perfect Plantista spray as a preventative for pests. I already tested it on a single leaf and waited 48 hours before I did a full application. This morning, I noticed 2 brown spots on this leaf. The spray contains thyme oil, peppermint oil, Castile soap, and cinnamon bark oil. I read good reviews on it… I’m a new plant owner so I’m trying to prevent pests the best I can. Do you think the brown spots are from the treatment?
I used toilet paper to wipe off the solution after directions say to wait 10 mins. I just ordered microfiber gloves as I read that’s what I should be using.

There are a few new leaves! She’s been growing fast. Should I allow more growth, or can I propagate now? Is it appropriate to propagate newer leaves?

My mom called me last night and she was very upset. A little backstory- my grandma (mom’s mom) has dementia and gets very angry and confused. My grandma will sometimes yell at my mom on the phone. I know it’s been hard for my mom to deal with this and she tells me all the time how grandma gets angry or yells at her. Anything innocent sets her off. Last night, my mom mentioned to my grandma how she’s coming into town and would like to see her. My grandma started freaking out and yelling how she doesn’t want anyone over, and she doesn’t want to host or see anyone. This has sadly been her typical behavior with dementia- she was never like this. While my grandma is yelling, my mom attempts to change the subject or say “okay that’s fine” to mitigate my grandma’s anger. Eventually, she calmed down.
My cousin’s gf was there when my mom and grandma were talking over the phone. My grandpa had somewhere to be, so my cousin took him there while his gf watched my grandma.
His gf calls up my uncle (my mom’s brother) and tells him my mom and grandma were yelling at each other and that she was concerned…. My uncle calls my mom and seems upset with her. My mom says to my uncle that it’s the typical behavior from their mom and that their mom was the one yelling due to her dementia.
My mom was blindsided and confronts my cousin’s gf. She said something along the lines of “How do you even know what I said to my mom? My mom has dementia and everyone knows this- don’t you know? You caused a big problem. My mom and I weren’t yelling at each other. She was yelling at me but that’s how she is lately. Mind your own business.”
My cousin’s gf replied saying “I don’t appreciate you coming at me. I called your brother because I was concerned. You should look at it from my lens coming from a concerning place. You need to consider your actions the next time you decide to come at me again.”
I think my cousin’s gf (let’s call her Amy) is forgetting my mom and grandma are literally mother and daughter, and that my grandma has dementia. I’m not sure why she called up my uncle. Amy blocked my mom on all socials after that.
Is my mom the AH?
