Hi I recently go this plant and mine leaves are brown and we’re curled and I bit crunchy when I got it should I cut those off and will that encourage growth?

[@MariliaMDiniz]

Hey Lucia, thanks for the video! It was very helpful. I have this pepa for over a year now and it is my absolute favorite plant child. It has grown so much and is about 60 cm tall right now. Funny thing is that until today I had no idea what the name of the plant was 😂 I just stumbled upon an Instagram post and found it. Then I searched for a video to see how to actually care for it and found your channel. Keep up the good work! Greets from Germany. :)

Just came across this video and loved it! Straight to the point and gave me all the info I needed!

[@zaiddyflores3823]

Hello!! Mine loves direct morning sun!!(east facing window) She has grown sooo much since I got her which was in May she had 4-5 leaves and now has around 20 leaves!!

[@xaviercaceres8989]

Me encantó que incluyeras lo del sustrato, es info super útil ! Se agradece el detalle. No tengo esta variedad de peperomia pero si otras, e imagino que los cuidados son similares. Cuando crees vos que es mejor replantar ? Tengo algunas plantas en las que noto que el sustrato se compacta demasiado, tanto asi que se separa de la misma maceta. No estoy del todo seguro de si debo cambiarles el sustrato por alguno con mas perlita, que me recomendas ? Un saludo desde Arg

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hola! Que bueno que te gustó la inclusión del sustrato. Mucha gente me pregunta, así que pensé que sería buena info 😊 Algunas peperomias si son similares, pero esta familia es muy variada, así que es bueno confirmar.. Cuales tienes? Un video que se me hace muy bueno de la familia de las peperomias es este: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6rMnXeEp9mCbpY creo que ella explica la familia y la diferencia entre ellas muy bien 👍 Hmm la manera en la que yo reviso si mis plantas necesitan ser trasplantadas es con el método de las raíces... Y trato de ver si están creciendo al rededor de mi sustrato o saliendo por los hoyos en la maceta.. Muchas veces el que el sustrato se compacte tanto, también puede significar que si necesita ya un cambio, para darle más espacio a las raíces y que el agua pueda llegar a ellas. Dime si esto ayuda. Un saludo hasta Argentina! Lucia

[@dewality8768]

Hello, can I most the leaves with diluted seaweed liquid?

[@krisk4114]

I put a lit of my plants in my room cause its warm but humid

[@Myu007]

This plant will wilt if you over water, I nearly kill mine, thinking it needed more water. Best to grow in clay pot, I find it easier to control the humidity, if drying out to fast I put it in cover pot to slow down the evaporation, can’t wait to let it grow bigger.

[@PlantsandLucia]

Yes! Thank you for the truth :) How's yours doing now?

[@satirelauratattoo9174]

Hola Lucia, mi peperomia polybotrya tiene sus hojas nuevas muy pegadas al tallo principal, las hojas se retuercen abrazándose al tallo y están algo deformadas. Esto es parte del crecimiento de esta planta? Tengo muchas plantas donde las hojas nacen totalmente enrolladas pero con esta tengo totalmente mis dudas. No he podido encontrar información sobre esto y quizá alguien por aquí tenga una experiencia similar o sepa mas que yo! Gracias el video me fue muy útil cuando adquirí la plantita!

[@halmedit3]

Hi Lucia My plant just started to loose their leaves.. It is possible because of the low temperature? In my living room winter time use to be around 16-16 celsius.

Hello muy friend,i thought What u got IS a TEAR DROP, RAIN DROP IS PRFECTLY ROUND LEAF..no?🤩😍🥰

[@kiara3933]

The new leaves on mine are growing folded as it’s getting too overcrowded in the middle so they can’t grow taller. Would it be better if I propagate the leaves blocking growth or repot into a bigger pot?

[@blackmarketgirl101]

I have the same problem! :/

[@kimber7960]

So, my poly was doing really well for months. And few days ago I noticed the leaves are really soft and not firm anymore. I only water a bit once a week when the soil is dry. It isnt rootbound or anything.. any suggestions? I remember the leaves always felt firm

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi Nicky van Veen! Sorry I missed your comment earlier! Hmmm, this may actually be related to watering still.. Either over watering or under watering... I went on a trip for two weeks, and my friend didn't see my peperomia.. So I just noticed, her leaves were soft because she was missing water... I prefer to water from the bottom, because then I know the roots are actually getting the water... From the top it may actually go to the sides and not get to the roots.. Here is a video on bottom watering : kzbin.info/www/bejne/epCTc2aLf8x6nrc This may also be due to overwatering though... Make sure to check the soil all the way to your second knuckle, to make sure that the soil is dry in between waterings... How is she doing now? Sending positive energy to you! ♥️🌿

[@hotshopper1717]

When I got mine they didn’t stand slowly over the lady couple months one is almost frilly standing and the other is about half standing half leaning. They are both in succulent mix, one in a plastic pot the other in terra-cotta and I don’t water much at all maybe once a week. Leafs on both started turning black and soft so I watered less once every 2 or more weeks and now one section even died at the base. Help please

Hola Lucia! como y cuando recomiendas poner en "soil" mi Raindrop que tengo "propagating" en agua por 4 meses... intente hacer el cambio a la tierra o "soil" (en ingles) una que tenia 2 meses en agua con mucha raiz con "hijitos" pero se me hizo negra y la bolvi a poner en el agua y sigue echando raiz... no quiero que se me muera, ayuda porfis! ♥

[@PlantsandLucia]

Siii... Te entiendo... A veces cambiar nuestras plantas a tierra puede ponerlas en estrés y a veces puede ser demasiado para ellas... Cuando yo pongo las mías en tierra despues de estar en agua, trato de hacer una transición muy lenta... Puedes ir agregando un poquito de tierra al agua (algunas personas hacen esto poco a poco) para ir acostumbrando a la planta...

Hye, I just bought raindrop paperomia. My question is, if my paperomia having the flower, do I have to pick it or leave it alone?

[@kayleemallory2123]

I need major help with mine! Since I got it, it just keeps losing leaves and idk what to do. They're curling under, which I assume means it needs water, but then when the leaves fall off it puts me in mind that it is rotting. The only ones left at this point are the very top leaves. They also have this little bumpy surface too that I know they aren't supposed to have. I'm normally very food with plants, but this one is stumping me.

[@sailormoonas]

Question, when you say filtered lighting, is it ok to put in on my desk where the sun will hit it through two windows in the afternoon? Or you mean bright indirect lighting?

[@azuriaalice9127]

She meant , bright indirect light. If your window has thin layer of cover, it’s better. Avoid direct sunlight.

[@maramccart4795]

hello! I have had my poly for about 4 months and her leaves never get as firm and green as yours!! i repotted her because her roots were all around her nursery pot but I want to convert to bottom watering since i think it might help her roots grow and her leaves become more firm. so do you think i could repot her or should i wait for a while? also the video you have for repotting pilers, can i use that method for her? i never know how to be careful and get all the soil out of her roots :(

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hiii! Could you maybe send a picture on Instagram? We can figure it out together ♥️🌿

[@paulinacatea8081]

I realized after some trial and error that when the leaves are soft it means it needs water. So just a good watering will make the leaves get hard and rigid again. I used to think I was overwatering it hence withholding from watering it which made it even worse and it even lost the bottom leaves, but now thats how i test if it needs water, by squeezing a bit the leaves to see if they are soft or not. Hope this helps :)

Hiii! Sorry to hear this about your peperomia! Hmm try checking the soil every week, this may be related to too much water...
