+ the leaves folds really easily 😕 i heard it folds when it needs water but even after watering, it does not become firm… any insights?
Let the soil dr out and stay dry for about a week between waterings. These are very easy to over water
I’ve always been told to treat peperomias more like a succulent and water when the soil is completely dry, so you’re doing good on that part. I’d caution on the direct sunlight as that might cause sunburn. As for the taco test, I usually only test the leaves closest to the soil as they are the most mature, newer leaves haven’t hardened so they’re always flexible. If they’re not firming up after a watering there could be an issue with the roots not absorbing the water, or the soil isn’t getting fully saturated.
