How to fertilize Emerald Ripple Peperomia

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Emerald Ripple Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Why do so many leaves fall each time I water my #peperomia ?

Overwatered? Soil was looking frequently dry so I was watering a little more, but the yellowing/dropping leaves is persisting. Finally reading more about #Peperomia it seems I did the wrong thing. Any advice? 💚

Possible pests on my new baby rubber plant?? There’s a couple little holes and brown dots. It’s currently quarantined in its own small greenhouse. #BabyRubberPlant #RubberPlant #peperomiaobtusifolia #Peperomia #plantcare #PestsAndPlants

almost all the leaves on my peperomia have fallen off overnight. why? Hi! I've had a peperomia pereskiifolia for a couple months now and it has been doing well. this last watering i left a bit later than I should have but for the first few days after watering, my peperomia looked fine, healthy even. then suddenly I woke up today and ~80% of its leaves have fallen off overnight. the leaves weren't yellowing and the stems aren't mushy, the only thing of note was that some of the leaves looked wrinkly, I assume from underwatering. I'm guessing that somehow it's root rot, but I was looking for a second opinion/advice. (this is my first post. I'm sorry if I've made any mistakes 😬) #peperomia #planthelp
