Please help. I’ve had this plant for almost two years and kept it in its original pot. It didn’t seem to be growing much, so I transplanted to the new one in the picture and it started growing like crazy! However, it’s started to sag a bit. Is this normal? Do I tether it to a popsicle stick? Also, should the soil be packed down at all - like, a pinch?

What do I do to make the brown go away? #Peperomia

Why is she yellowing? This is Penelope, and I had her in a pot that was getting little for her. She was turning yellow, so I moved her to a bigger pot and added new soil, and her leaves are getting more yellow and now more leaves are dying. How can I help her!?
