Is my plant disappearing?

My teardrop peperomia seems to have less “plant” then when I first got it. I tagged her and that’s basically the before picture because I couldn’t find one. The large photo is it now. Is this it acclimating? I got this 1-2 months ago and I only missed watering day once because I wasn’t home. I watered about 2 days late, also, the soil looks wonky. It’s in a clump on the top and no water is fixing it. Help!

Pull Pepper out of the pot and try to loosen the hard soil a little. I think it’s gotten too dry and is hydrophobic, meaning the water just rolls off. She doesn’t need direct sunlight, so move her further away from the window or put a sheer curtain between her and the window. Good luck with her!

@BeeBalm Thank you, but I don’t believe that it’s hydrophobic. I watered it earlier today and it absorbed the water well

That’s good. It may be getting too much lightht then. Let it dry well before watering.
