I wish I could. Every time I get one it becomes suicidal.
Sounds like the soil is too wet and new leaves are rotting. I notice your plant card says it's in a pot without drainage, is that correct? If so you need to move it to a pot with drainage holes at the bottom. Drainage holes help the soil dry out faster and allow excess fertilizer and mineral buildup to flush out. Watermelon peperomia are like succulents, if they sit in damp soil too long they'll start to rot. The soil should be allowed to completely dry out between waterings.
