Hi friends - A reminder that BLACK LIVES MATTER! It’s important to remember and consider BLM in all aspects of your life, including your plant hobby! I’ve created a doc that specifically considers ways to support BLM in the plant community. This is created by me, a white woman, mostly for non Black people (but all are welcome to peruse). This is an ever-changing doc and I welcome all questions/concerns/recommendations in my IG dms (@goodandplanti). The doc: bit.ly/2CrEzoA

I was on the fence about subscribing (just cause I already have so many plant channels on my feed lol), and now I definitely am going to. This is the sort of attitude I want to support in the plant community

hows it going?

[@vanessajohnson1944]

I just brought home an orphan Frost and have repotted it. Love the Peps! Thanks for this episode and info within.

Thank you so much! Got my first peperomia as a gift, so excited to add it to my plant collection 🌿🌿😍😍

[@monicabustos4673]

This video was super helpful, subscribed so fast! I was looking everywhere to see what the differences between lighting is, my peperomia's are under a grow light like yours so I hope they do well. Thanks for posting!

[@madisondaches7810]

YAY oh my goodness I’ve been waiting for one of these 🤩🤩🤩 amazing Kat!!

[@GoodandPlanty]

ahhh thank you! hope it was helpful maddie 💚

[@blabbersavvy]

Just bought a peperomia today - this video was very helpful. Thanks! Also great video!

[@shastabare6026]

Oh thank thank you! I made literally every mistake and am just hoping now i can nurse my little storebought peperomia back to life. To start with, i didn't notice that whoever potted them (or maybe a little hand at the store) had patted the crown and most of the leaves were actually detatched and just sitting in place 😫 then i left it in the spagnum from the store. Then i didnt realise it was 'succulent' and it probably got overwatered, exacerbated by being in a teeeny decorative pot with no drainage 😖😖 now ive repotted it 4 times, trying to fix soil and drainage. Poor plant. I promise that most of my plants are well studied and cared for!! Cross your fingers for my peperomia.

[@GoodandPlanty]

oh no i am so sorry to hear that! 🥺wishing you the best of luck. if possible, you might want to try propagating a few cuttings as back up.

[@alexandrarathert1839]

Just purchased my first peperomia! I chose the peperomia frost because it’s so lovely! I mean, they’re all lovely, but I love, love, love this one. I can’t wait to learn how she likes to grow! 🙌

[@GoodandPlanty]

same! they totally caught my eye at the nursery 🤩

[@taylorradcliffe712]

Soo excited to see more like these. Pepperomias are a plant I want way more of. I commented before that I love your peppermill one but all the others are just so small and cute, I need. I adore tiny plants

[@GoodandPlanty]

tiny plants make my heart go 🥺 i want to expand my peperomia family too! i used to have a ruby glow (rip) and i've been really tempted to get another one lol

[@taylorradcliffe712]

Good & Planty i have an emerald ripple one. The ruby glow is super pretty I obviously think you should get more too😂

[@neuroticladybug]

Great video Kat 😊 🙌!! About leaf cuttings : they are very much doable and work out great! Whether you use a full or half leaf, you can propagate in soil, water or sphagnum prop box 😊Sometimes my watermelon peperomia stems kind of "explode/disintegrate" when i try to propagate in water and so I'll just cut the stem off completely and just propagate the leaf.

[@annabartonkova9378]

Peperomias are one of my favourite species although I prefer the more thicc ones. My current favourite is peperomia pixie lime. I've always propagated stem cutting in water, and the roots grow like crazy. Thanks for another lovely video. Take care 💕🌿

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you anna! thicc peps all the way 🤩 i find them to be so much easier. i'm giving water prop a go right now with my watermelon peperomia!

[@BSG0005]

They’re also really susceptible to stem rot. I learned that the hard way! I like to spray my plants periodically with Neem oil to stave off pests. Well it’s not a good idea to do that with peperomias! After spraying one of my peperomias, its stems rotted and started falling off one by one until the plant was dead. ☹️ I was, however, able to propagate the leaves.

[@GoodandPlanty]

oh nooo 😭 i could definitely see that happening with how thin and fragile the stems are. at least they are easy to prop!

[@marymccormick7806]

If you mix your own neem oil spray- you may have it too concentrated &/or you put too much on plant. Sorry to hear

[@Alex-ov5nq]

new fear unlocked with my pepperomias now

[@Amby99]

I love peperomias!!! Especially my frost!!! It is my favorite

[@carolinaramrz]

this was so informative! Thank you ☺️

[@GoodandPlanty]

yay!! so happy to hear that 💚

[@luminair11]

Very simple & easy to follow instructions.....thank you!

[@girlie0226]

Another great video! I have 9 peperomia varieties - kind of obsessed.

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you 💚 i clearly need to catch up!!!

[@tashritchie3832]

Leaf pripagation is the quickest way to grow new peps. They root and push out new leaves at the same time.

[@elananaomilipkin8278]

We love peps!!!! So fun and friendly

[@GoodandPlanty]

family friendly !

[@greenthumb1658]

Oh... The quality of this video is very good. It seems like I can stretch my hand through the phone! Maybe other videos that I watch on YT are also high-quality, but it is the first time I've noticed this effect of "openness".

[@PlantHoardingAdventures]

What's up plant lady love your pep collection and tips! I just added two ripples to mine and I'm so worried! they look so much more delicate than my others, fingers crossed!

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you so much! i think my ripple needed a little bit of time to acclimate and then it was smooth sailing. just give them a little time and they will be fine! 🥰

[@madelinerivera3837]

Omg. I found today the pep pink lady at my local nursery. I bought two 2 inch pots and put into one. I love the watermelon one but mine did not do well but I think it was because from the beginning it was not in the greatest shape. I price we pay to rehab a plant. Lol😀

[@GoodandPlanty]

that’s so cool you found the pink lady at a local nursery! i haven’t really seen it around that much. and YES to the rehab struggle lol

[@janinebean4276]

I, having trouble identifying my peperomia cause Google lens seems to be confused lol but I think it’s a peperomia frost! The leaves look kind of sparkly!

[@amandalim3077]

i'm a new plant parent & i struggle with overwatering! maybe this is why my peperomia isn't doing too well. i have a little toscani/tuscany and a pilea peperomioides (this one is fine!) the little toscani was stressed out when i brought it home and dropped a few leaves. i waited a few days to water & it's leaves have remained a bit curled. anyone know what's causing this?

[@aprillacy5477]

All of my leave are on my watermelon plant are wilted and the stems are black. There is new roots growing but most are rotted. Can it be saved

[@litalita4908]

Hi :) love your video ! I have a watermelon and its seem healty. But i dont understand why most of the leave stay close together in the center . i dont know if im clear lol

[@GoodandPlanty]

that's just the way they grow! there's usually a few crowns in each pot.

[@litalita4908]

Thank you so much for you're response !

[@MindfulnessMama]

You have to try liquidirt if you haven't yet! It's truly amazing

[@GoodandPlanty]

i love liquidirt so far! about a month or 2 into trying it out

[@MindfulnessMama]

@@GoodandPlanty same!!! The directions were a tad confusing when I 1st used it but I got the hang of it now. I started putting some liquidirt in my water propagations and wow I could see a difference with how fast the roots grew. That would be a cool video to see if water propagations truly do grow faster with liquidirt!

[@CuteLittleThing1]

I’ve taken a cutting of a peperomia hope, it’s been in water for more than a month and still no root 😭 I really like this specie and it’s pretty rare where I live so any advice or how to propagate them? Love you ❤️

[@GoodandPlanty]

Oh no! I would try the spagh moss method if water isn't working for you. Make sure the cutting has a decent amount of stem and put it in a see-through container with spagh in it. I put my container under grow lights and my peperomia put out roots in 1-2 weeks but a bright window would also work. I would try to take 2-3 cuttings because sometimes they just don't work out. Wishing you the best of luck! ❤️

[@djratino]

My leaves were splitting. I had to replace it. I need to find out what makes them split so it won't do it again. Calcium deficiency? I need some help. Lowe's keeps them soaking wet. That may be the problem. 🌿🌾🍀🐀🐾

How watering pepperomia obtusifolia?😢

[@tamarsoto3682]

My is burning and I don’t know how to fix is 😢pls help

[@tarakennedy707]

I just ordered a peperomia frost and it came in with a ton of flowers. I didn't know they flowered so now I am wondering what people do with the flowers. Leave them? Cut them? Can they be replanted?

[@GoodandPlanty]

i leave mine! some people like to cut them off to conserve the plants energy.

[@crimsonvice]

Have you tried bottom watering

[@GoodandPlanty]

yes! peps love it

[@lilasmith8751]

so i placed my peperomia frost on my southeast facing window sill and it looks all shriveled up but also has flowered since i placed it there? do you think its receiving too much sunlight? (no worries if you dont know)

[@GoodandPlanty]

it sounds like too much light to me! the one i have near a south facing window is placed a little bit above my window and is about 2ft back. i think that's about as much light as it can take. a southeast windowsill is probably a bit too much :( the strong light and sun stress probably made your plant flower but it isn't sustainable

[@lilasmith8751]

Good & Planty wow thank you for the info! Ugh I truly thought I was doing something giving it the most lighting I could I thought they were like succulents😩

[@GoodandPlanty]

Lila Smith Thats totally common! I think a lot of people (myself included) say that they are succulent-like but don’t stress enough the difference in light they can handle. I think it will bounce back after you move it though. And if not, they are luckily easy to propagate! 😇

[@HectorMArroyo]

Thanks for the tips. I wish I would’ve known not to repot them right away 😭

[@AlisaBelle03]

Pepperomia in Leca?

[@22dolxxxphin22]

I easily propagated a peperomia watermelon from leaves. So its possible :)

[@dianesheehan8225]

Yup, I throw loose turtles in a terrarium, they turn into thick mats of vines. Pink lady I have done from cut leaves and the stem for two babies from one leaf. I’ve also done Obtusifolia that way, but it will lose variegation if just a leaf. Ruby cascade from leaves. Kiwi twist and Hope also. A tip cutting will keep variegation. Leaf cuttings are slower to get going but once they do, it is a perfect plant like grown from seed, not a mid cut base or anything. It makes a pretty plant.

[@marymccormick7806]

I have a watermelon peperomia. I think it may have root rot? Leaves are wilting. Can I repot? Put in drier soil? Or just focus on propagation before it totally dies?

[@GoodandPlanty]

i would prop depending on how bad the root rot is. i have a video on root rot if you want to see how i handle a case!

[@alexisf4239]

peperomias are so nice to me

[@GoodandPlanty]

they are very friendly plants 😌
