@WittyTreemallow I have a few raindrops. I’m also propagating more leaves from my mother plant. Usually curling or droopy leaves means more humidity is required. I have a humidifier in the room where my mother plant is and the baby in the first photo is contained within an indoor greenhouse so it gets humidity from the other plants in there. I would suggest putting the plant in the bathroom on the counter while you shower to soak all that moisture up or alternatively, you can place it on tray filled with water and pebbles which will increase moisture and air flow. Just make sure there is always water in the tray and that the roots are protected. I’ve also found that they like water. I water my plants two or three times a week depending on the soil to keep it evenly moist. You don’t want it saturated,just damp. My latest cutting is about ready to plant in soil!
Raindrop peperomia is different from Pilea peperomioides.

I dunno it kinda looks find in the card. But can't accurately tell without a photo
