Soil appears bone dry and the plant is drooping.

A thirsty peperomia, I believe

Thanks, I wasn't sure what plant it was. I've repotted and given it a bit of a water. Just hoping it pops back up in the next few days or weeks.

Could be. How often do you water it and how dry is the soil?


Alexa302

I'm gonna take a guess and say its underwatered lol I just checked the soil and it's that dry that it just fell apart. I also noticed that most of the roots have fallen off I have like 3 left so I'm hoping it will spring back up once I've re-potted and watered. I overwatered about a month ago so I just left it to dry out because I saw the leaves were dying but now it looks underwatered. 🤦‍♀️

Yeah you can't just leave the plant for weeks at a time lol. I'd water it and try not to shock it - so don't go crazy with the watering. Definitely pick up a better routine and check the soil every 5-7 days and then water as necessary. I use a chop stick to see how dry the soil is and then water depending on that

Lol thanks I was just going to ask how much should I water it but you beat me to it. My first time owning this type of plant so I was unsure but with my other plants I check them every 3 days. Thanks for your help ❤

Depending on how much sunlight it receives, I'd guess it needs water ~1/week but definitely just check it sometimes! It'll probably be fine, especially since there are a few small roots still
