r/peperomia

Propagated this pepperonis hope from few cutting and it’s been growing well. I do like to chop the ends when they get leech and put it back in pot.

I’ve been pining after this plant for over a month and finally decided to get it Monday. I wasn’t too happy with the $15 price tag, but I thought about this plant every single day. I’m so, so happy that I did too because she is even more gorgeous in person and in my room. 😭

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!

I rescued these guys from Aldi a while back and the label just said variegated peperomia and from what I’ve seen online they’re not that. I have two of these guys, btw. They’re a little leggy right now, but I’m working on correcting that.

First time having a peperomia do this, I think these are blooms? Do I just let them keep growing or do I eventually clip them off??

This plant is a beast. She's been blooming like crazy and I love how delicate they are. 💜💜

I will need to repot her again. I love her so much and don't want to risk killing her. I may try and divide her but I don't know if that the right thing to do?

Has anyone divided theirs? Tips welcome!

If so whats the best method?
