Finding light for Jelly Plant in your home

Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.

How to fertilize Jelly Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jelly Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I think this guy looks sad but I’ve never had one, is he? One new leaf coming out so he can’t be that bad but he looks like he could be happier #Peperomia

My plant is dying I don't know how to help. I tried allowing it dry out. Also gave it some fertilizer in water. I have grow lights in case it was too cold and dark for the winter. It used to be so healthy... Now it has droopy, falling leaves and brown spots. Things just keep getting worse. I love this plant, Any help at all is appreciated

Leaves Falling #Peperomia I just repotted my baby rubber plant because the leaves keep falling off, when I got her she was a little sickly but had many more leaves, do you think she was in too big of a pot? I just repotted her to a much smaller one. Can I propagate the two stems remaining in water?

Brown spots under the leafs? Can anyone help me find out what's happening to my little guy here? 🥺 #Peperomia

She is so unhappy. I hate to see her go. How do I fix this problem. I was thinking to repot her and add dry soil #Peperomia

Hi! I've had Fish for a couple of months now, and took her to college with me! I'm probably just worrying too much, but does she look to be in good health? Leaves aren't too droopy or anything? Fish was gifted to me so I want to make sure she thrives! #Peperomia #NewPlantMom
