About Raindrop Peperomia

How to fertilize Raindrop Peperomia
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 Raindrop Peperomia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help please I’m panicking #Peperomia I noticed those little insects in the pot of my raindrop peperomia. Does anyone know what they are? Springtails? Mites? I was so proud of Pippi😭 #help

Help! Is it rot??? I just noticed that the one of the stems of my Peperomia was a bit wobbly and with just a little pull it came off. Second picture is the bottom of the poor stem. Now I’m concerned because if it’s rot then at this point there’s nothing else I can do for the rest of the plant but hold her hand as she agonizes.

Should I cut to encourage bushier, growth, like with the jade plant? #Peperomia

little spots on underside of leaf My plant looks otherwise healthy but I noticed these spots peppering the back of this leaf and a bit on the one next to it. Anyone know what it is?

I love this raindrop peperomia. The leaves are gorgeous and it’s always growing. We had to split this plant into two because it was that big. We had a little scare with Rain having soggy and blackened leaves. But a little less water, a little sunshine and he’s back to his normal self.

This has been the easiest plant baby. Rain has survived uneven watering schedules, overwatering by my kids, and even my husbands micromanaging. I’ve recommended her to all of my family and friends.

Large, lush dark green leaves. Seems to be happy on the mantelpiece with the occasional weekly watering.

It revives itself quickly after going limp from being in the sun. Don’t put it on a windowsill, keep it on a shelf not too far from light but not close. Good plant.

It's doing this weird droop thing i can't figure out with its leaves and they've started browning in places. This is my first ever peperomia so it's probably on my part.
