How to fertilize Jelly Plant

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 Jelly Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Droopy leaves and soil staying wet for awhile. Does it need a smaller pot? More sun? Something else? #Peperomia

Unhappy jelly plant?? My jelly plant has been unhappy for awhile and I don’t know why! I repotted with perlite a few months ago, when I first noticed it was drooping, but it hasn’t gotten better. Any suggestions??

I reported her but she just keeps rotting I work know what to Do!! I i have a leaf propagating but it looks like it's rotting slowly in the water, can I save her??? I don't have rooting hormones, she was doing well in a low nutrient regular potting soil, but it must have gotten to much water, I reported to a orchids mix and she's not doing well.
