πŸ‰ DRAMA QUEEN ALERT
I’ve owned this plant a little while now and I wanted to give some tips as this is one of my favourite plants to own but can be scary for a couple of reasons (see the photo!)

🌱 If you repot this plant, if you change the soil, even sometimes move into a new home, this is going to happen. They are so sensitive they will loose all their leaves. HOWEVER:

πŸ’š One of the reasons I LOVE this plant is how fast they bounce back. Their leaves grow extremely fast and plentiful. I’m not worried about all these leaves dying. I changed the soil cause I wanted better drainage & downsized pot. I know in a month or two we’ll be back stronger.

βœ‚οΈ Really easy to propagate too. Take one of those stems and place it in water.

✨ These plants are fast growers, easy to look after, but sometimes dramatic. But what’s better than a dying plant? One fully recovered. :)

Good to know! I was getting ready to give up on mine, I will give it some more time.
Yikes! I think you’ve saved me from a future existential meltdown lol! This is one of my favorite plants and I think I would end up hospitalized if I saw this. πŸ˜‚
Thank you for these tips. I’ve purchased a couple like this and have not had luck. Maybe I should’ve just waited for it to come back.
I’m so glad to hear this. I’ve given up more than once on this plant.
@MamaLinne luckily when I bought it I was told this was normal to happen! Fast growers, fast dyers. I find if you leave them they’re fine but they can get shook so easily!
@VipSeraphina sometimes all the old leaves need to die so the new ones can grow!
@ArciieCarnall noted! πŸ“
Great tips! And thanks for the pic, I’d have thought it was a goner ☠️πŸͺ¦
Def a drama queen!
@ArciieCarnall thanks much, for the tips! I have a Peperomia Watermelon too, so far he has been drama free. I also have a Variegated Peperomia!
