Help!

#Peperomia #succulentlove I've never seen this, her leaf fell off in half? She has two black spots on her baby growth too, what do I Do?
6โ€ pot without drainage
Last watered 5 months ago
What is this?
Peperomias sometimes get little brown spots if watering is not optimal. Keep an eye on dehydrating signs, and try to keep watering regular.
However, as a preventive measure, spray both sides of leaves and stems with Neem Oil spray. Neem Oil is a natural fungicide and insecticide and does not harm the plant. You need to spray once a week for 2 weeks, then every fortnight. Do the spraying in the evening, outdoors. (better not to inhale the Oil, and in the evening to prevent the plant sunburn ). The existing spots won"t disappear, but plants never look "perfect". Keep me posted about the progress.


The pot is without drainage (?). If you are not absolutely sure when to water, it's best to repot to a pot with drainage.
Peperomias don't like sunlight on their leaves, except 2 hours of early morning Sun.
Make sure that there's proper ventilation around the plant: I.e. opened window, a small fan near the plant but directed at an empty wall not at the plant.
Thank you!, she does have drainage, I'll keep posted!
