The fact that you felt the need to apologize for wearing makeup is heartbreaking. I can't believe people actually think it's their place to tell you that they prefer you without make up

Relax. Don't take things personally. That is what she does. Also, to look great without makeup is wuite a compliment.

I love that you don’t feel the need to wear makeup whenever you film a video, but I also think this makeup look is SO flattering on you! I just lost one of my peperomia about a week ago. Pretty sure it was stem rot, so I’ll try watering my other one from the bottom from now on. Great care tips, thank you!

[@HarliG]

Thank you! I typically don't like the way it feels on my face. It makes me feel constricted in a way? IDK how to explain it haha but sometimes it is fun! I'm sorry you lost your peperomia baby :( The winter time watering can be rough on them for sure! I hope the others do well for you!

Peperomia tip I have an obtusifolia and someone told me that spraying it with orchid spray fertilizer would make it grow. So I picked one to sacrifice just in case it was an epic failed. Omg it is now taller than the other three I have and the leaves are huge!!! I haven’t tried it on all the types but if you have the obtusifolias you need to try this!!! 🙌🏻

[@labae8728]

Haha sacrificing 😂 glad to know it grew better!

[@arianaseymore5869]

I tried this, but instead of spraying it with orchid fertilizer, I used the fertilizer to water my two peperomias. And it worked!! Both times after I used the fertilizer, a bunch of flower spikes grow 😁

[@Ms2cents]

You look beautiful with or without makeup. My mom used to say that makeup should only enhance what you already have which means your natural beauty. It shouldn’t be a camouflage but just to bring out your natural beauty. It became my philosophy too because I don’t like wearing heavy makeup. Lit from within.

[@strangesocks]

We started with a watermelon peperomia and it's the love of my life! Thanks for helping me help them thrive xx

[@ryleefinger7421]

Love your glow up! Yes your tips are super accurate to the care I've found my pepperomias like as well! ☺

[@growinggracefully9518]

You are so stunning! I love watching someone talk so passionately about plants. None of my friends are into plants so it sucks not having someone share my excitement when I have new growth or get a hard to find plant. I just think you’re so great!

[@kaitlynpeery3457]

I desperately needed to find this video!! I already managed to fatally overwater my first peperomia. (An absolutely beautiful variegated baby rubber plant! R.I.P Philbert 😭) Hopefully now I can avoid the same mistakes with my other 2. I've been so scared of losing my other two, that I was convinced my droopy peperomia was also subject to stem or root rot. No the poor thing was thirsty. 🤦‍♀️ So now I'm bottom watering that one and praying to the peperomia gods for forgiveness and mercy.

[@januaryturner3687]

Always fun watching your videos! 😍

[@k10.komesu]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I insanely appreciate the fact that even a knowledgeable goddess such as yourself has killed a happy bean or two! There is so much conflicting information out there, especially when it comes to moisture in the soil. Thank you again for sharing your talents with the KZbin world!

"If you don't like it, I'm sorry. If you do, I'm sorry." lol why do I relate to that so much? Do you Harli. You are beautiful both with and without makeup and you are my favorite plant-tuber regardless js. Totally agree about not keeping them super moist, mine appreciate that too.

Hi Harli! I think I've seen most of your videos, and your Mom's, and I really enjoy them, just haven't commented before. I bought a very small plant in a 2" pot, but it wasn't labeled. I thought it was a peperomia and, thanks to your video, I believe it is a Peperomia obtusifolia 'Variegata' like the first one you showed with the light green variegation. I wasn't sure how to pot and water it, so thank you! Also, I prefer seeing you when you are talking to us in your videos and not just showing plants. Keep up the good work!As far as makeup, I think you look great both with and without. Just do what makes YOU feel good. I'm like you though and don't like the feel of liquid foundation, so I use a powder and can't even feel it.

[@TheSoaringSeawardFamily]

[@vmartinez71]

when I first got my Obtusifolia, I over-watered it (yellowed bottom leaf) and subjected it to harsh sunrays (one top leaf got a burn). Now I've gotten to know him well and he likes his medium to dry 100% and then a deep watering is given. It's also happy getting diffused direct sun from an East-facing balcony slider :)

[@safiamccants9476]

Hi Harli, you are a natural beauty and also you look pretty with makeup. So have fun expressing yourself. I offen watch your videos and brought plants that you had introduced. I now have a peperomia acuminata variegated. It is finally getting new leaves. The shades of green are similar to pothos marble queen. Thank you your amazing videos.

I have turned into a total Peperomia NUT since I started gathering plants (and watching your videos lol). I actually water mine with the same bottle I use to water my succulents- it has a little spout that lets me get between the leaves and avoid getting the stems wet. I just got two new ones this week (I'm addicted)- a Rosso and a Parallel (I think that's what it's called). I adore these little guys- my first one is putting out three new leaves and has grown so much! Happy to hear they are easy to prop... Now I can turn one plant into ten plants.

[@Qinglin888]

Peperomias are definitely not easy for me! I have three, a Peperomia caperata rosso, a clusiifolia and the watermelon one (Peperomia argyreia). The caperata is only now coming back from the brink of death, I had to put it to a terracotta pot and under a grow light by the window (yes, you read that right, Finland is really dark in the winter) to save it. Half of my jelly plant just basically rotted because it was in really really wet, compacted soil when I got it. I changed the soil immediately but it was kind of too late. I just hope the rest of it starts to really get better. The argyreia is doing the best, although that too lost some leaves. It seems to be pretty happy in a more shaded location for me weirdly enough. I tried to water propagate one of the leaves that fell off, but the stem just kinda exploded and split in a day. I have no idea what happened there 😅

[@jimc6694]

Confused why having plants set in water with roots(propagating) doesnt cause root rot...but sitting in wet soil does?

[@seaglass8940]

I just heard somewhere the answer to your question about why you could propagate peperomia plants in water, yet they don't rot. It's because it's not the water that harms the plants. It's the bacteria and fungus that could breed in the water (and wet soil) that can get into the plant, that rots the plant. Pure Water itself is harmless.
