Any tips on how to care for peperomias. This is my second and I'm worried I'm going to lose this one too. The leaves used to be perky and firm but now they're wilting. I let the soil go dry so I don't think it's overwatering but it's so hard to tell.

Might be overwatered and the pot look a lil too big, especially if it’s had any root rot, give it some dry time and only water when the soil is 100% dry

@TRose · Answer

I use a moisture meter on mine and that helps with knowing when to water. Peperomia don’t like to sit in water or to be underwatered either.

@PricklyThumb · Answer

I second the moisture meter. Mine got severely overwatered and lost most of its roots. The first sign was wilting leaves. Especially if it’s in a pot sleeve because you don’t see the water building up underneath/inside.

@Velvetplants · Answer

@dreaarosee your welcome;The pot size is def important since the roots won’t be able to reach the water at the bottom, makin the excess water lead to root rot.
