Is this too much morning sun for this guy? Before this app, I couldnāt identify what this guy was. I got this as a cutting around Easter. I rooted it in water until the roots were about 2 inches and then planted in the pot itās in now (3ā pot). I was told it was a succulent and they love sun, but thatās not what I have been reading? He hasnāt grown much. Maybe a few new leaves? In 6 months, he hasnāt grown longer or fuller. I want to make sure Iām doing right by him, specifically from people in the know. Thanks so much for you help and time! #Peperomia #HappyPlants #newbie #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Some young leaves falling off I got a new peperomia this week from The Home Depo (I know, not the best). I picked this plant because it had lots of small leaves and some pretty flowers. Also, the soil it's in is not bad for this plant. When I first brought it home, I put it in the bathroom next to the other peperomia. The next day, I pruned the big/old leaves that looked pale or had cracks in them. I haven't watered it since. Now I am noticing that it lost about 4 small leaves and they look perfectly healthy leaves. Anyone can figure out why leaves are falling off? Is it normal in this season? At what point is leaf loss a peoblem for a plant? #Peperomia #peperomia_rosso #variegated #small_plant

Taking out branch with white leaves Hello. In the past, I made a post about Gobi being sick. Now I think it stopped complaining and showing some signs of healthy growth. I repotted Gobi to give it a "species-apropriate" soil mix. Gobi has a very scaffolded but healthy root system so I had to move it to a bigger pot. I could only find a pickle jar to serve the purpose. After I repotted Gobi, I realized that Gobi is made of 3 branches and one of them has only 2 white droopy leaves. It is shorter, paler, and not producing baby leaves like the other ones. I know that white leaves are not very useful for a plant and they don't last very long. I want to remove this whole branch because I think the other branches will gain more energy. But I don't know how to do that without harming the plant. Any tips? Also: I just got grow lights and about to open the box so hopefully that will make all my plants even happier! #Peperomia #Peperomia_Obtusifolia_Variegata
