Recovered from.gnats, started to regrow and now drooping.
#RaindropPeperomia
The stem is black only at the top, stem is firm not soft and soil is dry (to combat suspected rot). Watering infrequently. recovered from.gnats about 6 months ago, began to grow a new lesf which has now died/drooped the stem only. There is a new frond coming up and i want to make sure it doesnt die too :(

When you suspected root rot did you check the roots? If not I would suggest you have a look and treat the roots and replace the soil. You may still have a issue. Could also be to intermittent watering. Fungus nats are annoying but will not hurt the plant as under watering due to root damage can.

@LegitimateOnion @strawberrymoon is excellent with these. I had one at one time a ended up killing it.

I agree with @Gordo - these plants do not appreciate intermittent watering. I have found that watering is a fine line with these pants.
