r/peperomia

Noticed this oddly long "rat tail"

One of the easiest peperomias I have ever cared for.

It likely needs a new pot but what should I do with this? lol

Should I trim it back? Is it supposed to trail like this??

I’m new to the prop world and just want to confirm if this would be the right place to cut? Thanks yall!

And if it is should I keep the soil moist rather than let it dry out for like the first 7-14 days (I know that obtusifolia likes to dry out between waterings but I feel like it would be different with a freshly potted water prop).

Previous post regarding this cutting.

Hi! Sorry the photos are such bad quality but I’m wondering what exactly this is? That being the long growth (on the left) that is not the new leaf to the right. A flowering/bloom of some kind?

My husbands pepperomia is becoming so bare despite new growth. It keeps dropping leaves with brown undersides. Its in loose succulent soil. I might think its not getting enough water? Maybe? I have no idea. Theres no pests because all my other plants are doing okay. The dropped leaves smell weird as well but not rotten

I recently returned home from my 2 month internship where my partner was taking care of my plants for me while I was gone. They are very unfamiliar with plant care and although it's not advised, I give him a watering schedule for each of my plants. I knew a few plants didn't make it but my peperomia hope is not looking well either. Its leaves are very thin and wrinkly and I'm not sure how to approach this. Should I just pluck the leaves off and prop the stems or is there a way to save the plant and leaves??

I do want to preface that even before I had left, I was also struggling to care for my hope :( The roots looked fine last I checked but the leaves never stayed as plump as they did when I first got it. Any help is appreciated!!

I was mulling over repotting my peperomia scandens and my watermelon pep to bigger (and self-watering) pots. Finally did it today and I’m so afraid I might have killed my babies, especially my scandens, who’s looking so sad right now.

Could this just be transplant shock? Is this salvageable?

I repotted in a larger pot but not sure if that was a mistake. Maybe my soil is too wet?

Can someone tell me why my Watermelon Peperomia is growing weird like this? I bought it in December, it’s still in the same soil, in a 6 inch hanging pot, which hangs by an east facing window. I water 75% dry. Or if I’m being honest when it’s 100% dry. The stems are very leggy and are bending in a weird way.

Any advice would be appreciated 😊

Hello friends! I got this delightful watermelon pepermonia in the mail from a grower the state over from me. I’m finding some conflicting information on whether or not I should repot it here soon or keep it in the nursery pot. It feels a bit floppy. Soil is not a mix, just straight potting soil and it’s still very snug and still moist. How should I go about repotting this? I read that pepermonias like to be snug. Fluffy potting mix? Do I need to losen the root ball up at all or just pack it in?

Any advice would be much appreciated! TIA!

we moved into a new home about 6 months ago, and it doesnt have the best light. both of these guys had been soing really well, though, esp compared to some of my other plants. they both sit in my living room, one in indirect northern light, the other in indirect sourhern light, and i swap them once a week. i even give my plants weekly “sun days” on our back deck and especially only water these guys when i’m able to do so so the soil better dry out in the sun (note that i do not water them every week, only as needed).

that’s what i did the other day - for once, there was no rain forecasted in Georgia, so I put all the plants out back. it had been about a month since i watered these, so i did so. now, 3 days later, they’re rotting (?) on random leaves and in a strange pattern. is this root rot??? the brown spots are soft/bendy and thin, not crispy. the soil is dry on each of them - i even pulled the larger one out entirely to make sure. please help me, i love these plants!!!

I got this plant about a year ago, I am struggling to find out the rootcause of browning only on some leaves ever since.

It is doing mostly great in a north-eastern window (only morning sun). I am following close to a bi-weekly watering schedule based on the weight of the pot (not letting to dry out completly), so I don't think that the problem is connected to this (please let me know, if I am wrong here). I have also recently installed a humidifier that keeps the humidity around 55-60%.

Do you have any idea what could be improved in my case?

(you can also find a nice leaf fascination in my propogation box in the pictures :) )

I’ve had this big mamma for around six years and she’s easily one of my favorite plants. Since repotting. Lost a few of her oldest bottom leaves recently, but she’s still putting out beautiful dark-green growth at the top and has started growing little babies from the base.
I honestly love how weird and tree-like she’s become with age.
Anyone here have an older raindrop pep? I’d love to see what these guys look like at 10+ years.

Hi planty reddit!

I've had this taco girl for about a year now, and she's growing pretty damn tall for her small pot (and started a family)

Online I only ever really see this plant at like 2 inches tall -- I'd love to see what y'all did with yours or hear any ideas on how you'd style her as I schedule her repot (:
