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

Why would this guy be dropping leaves? #Peperomia I have had a ruff start with this guy. He was doing so well ( yes I told him that). After having him for a year, he is dropping leaves. I ask him what was wrong and he won’t tell me. The leaves he is dropping look fine. Oh I did snip him top but that was after he started dropping leaves. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang
