Hey team,
Long story short, I got this from a friend because they know I garden and I need to keep it alive, and give it a revive for ego reasons and social gains (and of course I don't want this fella to die). I think it's a peperomia (?) but otherwise I'm lost.
What I do know:
It got drowned for ~1.5 weeks and that's how it's in the state it's in
Hopefully you can see from the photos, some of the stems (?) are detached mostly from the soil (why? Can I bury them?)
Looks like a number of leaves are upside down for some reason. Could be related to the stem thing?
Pls help, can we save him?! Thanks!
edit: I'm in Eastern suburbs, VIC

Pick out the dead leaves and put the plant in a ziplock in a warm bright no direct sunlight place and forget about it for 2 weeks
I have this plant and almost killed it by watering and not enough light. I have bright indoor light and was keeping the soil damp. Definitely don’t do that! The stems went floppy and started coming away from the main plant.
I moved it undercover outside and don’t water unless the top couple of cm of soil is dry and it’s improving a lot! For your plant, I’d let it dry out a lot and see how it goes.
It’s easy to propagate, if anything that breaks off looks viable and has a node, you can put it in water until roots grow then replant. If the stem is not firm I wouldn’t bother though
