Stems dropping off

#Peperomia this small starter plant was doing really well, but the last couple of weeks whole stems just started dropping off. No other signs of problems. Currently this is all that’s left.
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 weeks ago

They don’t like to be overwatered. Make sure it has good drainage and is drying out fast. Maybe try bottom watering in the future. Lots of indirect light. Check the leaves before watering.
Hi Kristine!

I agree with @Spaceekitten 9/10 with these it's overwatering.
Hi
@Spaceekitten this sounds like it’s probably the problem. Ironically, they started when I started following the watering schedule suggested by Greg. Also, check the leaves for what? I’m a newbie.
@naturenearby if you bend the leaves softly, if they are firm and close to snapping they don’t need water. If they are bendable they need water. Also try bottom watering.
