How to fertilize Peperomia asperula
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Peperomia asperula after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What do I do with this? My Peperomia Asperula is getting tall and started to lean over. Do I leave it alone or add a stick to keep it upright? Do I pot it in a tall pot, low/deep or in a shallow pot? Thanks!

Why is she leaning like this? Is she just top heavy? She seems healthy other than that. #Peperomia

How to move forward? I noticed my peperomia graveolens wasn't doing well, so I emptied the soil to find it had no roots. At all. The soil wasn't that moist, but I guehadroot rot set in. Is there a way to save this plant? Water? Or should I stick back into some dryer soil? Thanks in advance! #peperomia #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Does anyone grow their peperomia in water? I accidently ripped a huge chunk of my plant out of its pot. I threw it in water right away expecting it to die but it's thriving! Much more than the main plant which is been a struggle for me. #Peperomia #happyplants #peperomiarosso
