Peperomia leaf drop

Plump leaves can fall after cold exposure or root damage. Thin, creased leaves over dry mix suggest a different water problem. Check the stem base before choosing the response.

Keep sound roots and stems

Rehydrate dry mix evenly and drain. If the pot is wet, empty runoff and inspect roots when drop persists or bases soften. A small root ball needs a proportionate pot.

Move the plant away from cold drafts. If its crown is failing, take healthy stem cuttings beyond the damage. Common peperomias differ in leaf thickness and watering needs, so avoid one fixed drying interval for every type.
