Why there are black spots at the peperomia incana leave? 😢

[@HealthyHouseplants]

@gideonsubagyo5799, Black spots are a sign of leaf spot disease, which is a fungal infection. Reasons for the leaf spotting include overwatering--this can be coupled with having the plant in too big of a pot, too cold of temperatures for the plant, watering with cold water (it is important to always water houseplants with warm/tepid water. Studies have shown that houseplants watered with cold water develop leaf spotting problems), poor air circulation (this one is generally combined with one of the other reasons and is often not the sole reason.) Those are the top reasons. I will be doing a video next month on leaf spot disease.

@@HealthyHouseplants thank you for the answer. That is very helpful. The problem is I bought the Peperomia with Kokedama media 🥲

@@gideonsubagyo5799, It's possible for the plant to get better if you follow the growing tips in the video. Remove the leaves that have a lot of black spots and throw them away. Although, don't remove more than 1/4 of the leaves at one time. Then wait for a month to remove some more. You don't want to prune too much at once, which will also stress the plant. Clean the pruning tools with isopropyl alcohol after using them on infected leaves.
