in addition you might be over-watering it usually that is the the problem with african violets and peperomias as newly acquired houseplants reduce watering (only water when about 3-4 cms of the top of the soil feels kind-a dry also its better to water from the bottom, put a saucerful of water under the pot for a few hours
second reason could be light and nitrogen content, so also follow the advice given by Mahadeswara ji I notice you have left it in the plastic pot, most of the houseplant peperomias are succulent, succulents do better in terra cotta pots, let their roots breathe, and pebbles in the drip catching saucer below the pot works wonders. good luck usha di On Mon, Jun 18, 2018 at 10:54 AM, Mala Bajaj <[email protected]> wrote: > thanks a lot. > > > > Mala Bajaj | Senior Features Editor | Director Marvel Infomedia Pvt.
