r/PPeperomioides

My plant is in an east facing window that gets a ton of light because the wall is entirely windows. (Every other plant in the room is thriving.) It’s in a well draining soil, and I only water when it is completely dry. The pot has drainage. All of the new growth that it’s gotten since I got it from a friend in May just refuses to flatten out. There are no pests; I use beneficials.

I’ve read that if they’re concave or convex that means certain things, but mine just never unfurl completely.

my plant has a wild curling stem & needs to be repotted. should i cut & regrow roots? or plant as is with support?

Hi everyone,

My watermelon peperomia has been pushing out wrinkled and curled in leaves, and is starting to grow rather awkwardly. I am looking for suggestions for getting it to look and feel its best!

I have a good variety of pot sizes, and some perlite and orchid bark I can add to my soil mix. I’m not sure the best way to go about repotting and pruning leaves and I would love some advice.

A bit of plant history:
Purchased from a local greenhouse in Jan of this year and repotted once into miracle gro indoor plant mix. I’ve kept it in a nursery pot in a spot that receives moderately bright indirect light. I’ve been feeding it every few waterings with miracle gro plant food, maybe once a month. I water it whenever the leaves start to feel bendy. All of my plants were treated with Maggie’s 3-in-1 garden spray a little over a month ago after seeing signs of pests on new growth from other plants.

Also, I know miracle gro isn’t everyone’s favorite. I wanted to add that I am not looking for any soil or fertilizer recommendations at this time, just looking for suggestions to make what I have on hand work best for my plant’s needs! Thank you!
