Repotting query?

#Peperomia first of all, I'm not sure if this is a vining peperomia? If so what soil should I use to repot it into a draining pot? Any other tips welcome as im new to all this πŸ’šπŸ’›πŸͺ΄TIA
3ft to light, indirect
3” pot without drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
I rescued a plant that looks like yours and Greg also identified it the same. It's the first one I've ever had so not much for advice except I put all my plants in pot with drainage; mostly plastic inside various decorative pots.
@BojeeMoon Can you post more pictures that are clearer? I can’t tell completely but the way the leaves cluster on the vine it *could* be a peperomia hope. First, it needs to be moved way closer to a window for better light. Secondly, if it’s a P. Hope, they like extremely chunky soil that drains almost instantly. All of this could be wrong though if it’s a different type of peperomia.
Hi @TheOddAsity I'm not sure if these are any better? Thanks! πŸ’š
@BojeeMoon okay, so this is the one area Greg needs to update. They have a lot of things as a β€œtrailing jade”. But they need to get a little more specific. If I am correct, this is a peperomia rotundifolia. I have one. And it loves sunlight, but it needs water a little more often. I don’t like peat based soils, so I make a mixture of coco coir, coco chips, and perlite to ensure it’s well draining.
@BojeeMoon I forgot the screen shot…
@TheOddAsity that's so helpful, thank you! πŸ’š
@BojeeMoon my pleasure!
@TheOddAsity she also has a new home nearer the window 🌞
@BojeeMoon mine is in a northwest window, for reference. So it isn’t direct, but there is light all day. Mine was STRUGGLING. I couldn’t figure it out. So I had nothing to lose and gave it water more often and let it sit in the window. It is finally growing out. He looks like he could have a comb over πŸ˜‚
@TheOddAsity he is awesome! 😍 Hopefully Kate's 'hair' will grow in soon too now if she's a bit happier with more light! 🌞
