RIP Loverboy, any similar plant fails?

RIP Loverboy 😭

Officially had to call it on my #Peperomia Cupid … we gave it a good fight but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. He just had trouble almost right from the start.

My first ever official #plantfail , it’s so sad! Have you all had this experience with any of yours?

6” pot
Last watered 3 years ago
Ohh noooo. Was it root rot? I have a small one that FINALLY took off.. seems like it took ages tok actually grow...
My raindrop peperomia 😩😩😩 it got root rot. I chopped it and propped it in water and it grew roots but the roots never really got long to the point I felt I could put it in soil. Then it got root rot AGAIN.. I finally gave up and tossed it πŸ˜©πŸ’šπŸŒ±
@lemrobs OMG.!!!! WE ALL HAVE!!!! You are NOT alone in that experience. It is a sad one, though, and I appreciate your sharing.
So sorry about your loss @lemrobs It is never easy to loose a beloved plant or admit defeat.
@ManyLime ugh, so sorry to hear! 😫
I have no idea if it was root rot or what. It came home in August and was wilting badly within a week. When I repotted the roots seemed short but not rotted. Sadly it didn’t seem to make any difference and he kept declining one stem at a time

aww thank you both, I know it’s a risk we all take but it’s hard not being able to figure out and fix the problem!
@lemrobs I'm so sorryπŸ˜” it really is a pretty plant too. Where did you get it if you don't mind my asking? I got an njoy from planterina and mines rotted IMMEDIATELY and same started happening with the Pearl's and jade I purchased with them at the same time. When I went to repot what was left of the Pearl's and jade into a smaller pot, I noticed it was like.... how to describe it... like a ton of props thrown into a pot.. like jam packed.. then severely over watered. I watered both once when I got them home and they started to rot πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ.
@ManyLime that’s such a bummer! Good to know though; I’ve never ordered from them but have been tempted to try.
This one surprisingly was from plant proper. They’re always so great, I figure I did something to mess this one up. I know a lot of people got this same plant from them not long after I did and they seem to be fine. So weird!
