Repotting?
#Peperomia any general advice on repotting? I have been told a pot with drainage would be better but any thoughts welcome? TIA 🪴💛💚

Definitely a pot with drainage holes to avoid root rot. It’s recommended to go one size up in the pot but I say go for a 5 inch pot. Maybe something that is a little deeper so it can support the growing vine. Something like this pot in the photo. I just bought them from Amazon a few days ago. They are clay pots and really well made.
I concur with everything @Shells_Garden said 😉 Especially about needing drainage — besides light and water, it's something pretty much all potted plants need to live their best life. Porous pots (like terracotta or the unglazed clay ones Michelle shared) are a safer bet if you tend to overwater, since they let the soil dry out much faster. BUT if you're at the other end of the spectrum and often forget to water your plants, then a non-porous pot (plastic) might be a better fit. The glazed clay pot you're currently using would be better as a "cache" pot, which basically means using a decorative, more attractive pot to hide the not-so-attractive plastic pot your plant is in (as opposed to planting directly in the decorative pot). Also be sure to use a well-draining soil mix. Succulent soil is a good choice for Peperomias 😊👍
Thank you @Shells_Garden and @stephonicle! Just catching up, repotted and doing well I think, so 🤞🏼💚🪴
@BojeeMoon I’m glad you were able to get her repotted successfully! She looks really good and I like the pot choice. Now Kate can live her best life!! Well done!
