Help save my Raindrop Peperomia
Hi Greggers, there seems to be something really wrong with my Raindrop Peperomia and it was doing fine 5 days ago when I water it. Could this be root rot? As the problem started at the bottom it seems...
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 7 months ago

@DormantDerrick I'd say recent enough. Something I learned about this plant is it doesn't mind not being watered. I had a beautiful plant with lots of leaves. I wasn't giving it enough sun and ALL the leaves came off. All of them.
I was left with a stick in a pot so I removed the plant from Greg and I forgot about it. I came back months and months later and the stick is getting new leaves!!
So it can definitely recover. I have mine in a fast-draining soil with added perlite. I wonder if your soil is retaining a lot of moisture.

@DormantDerrick let it dry out super well. While you're waiting, you might lose that stem, but you can clip it above the rotten part and propagate it.
Bam! More plants.
Bam! More plants.
@DormantDerrick you might try sticking one prop directly in soil -- I did the exact same thing to my pepperomia, made props of all the remaining leaves, and the one that I stuck straight into soil survived!
@DormantDerrick perfect !
