Harli, a few thoughts: 1) Watermelon Peperomia: the leaves are growing in jagged due to lack of humidity. My plant's leaves were looking that way and once I put it near a humifier, the plant turned around. You can propagate the leaves but cutting them in half and putting them in soil (like a succulent!) - videos are available on KZitem. I propagated the heck out of mine and planted the babies back into the mother plant, leading to beautiful, full plant. 2) Peperomia Peperomioides: mine began looking like yours and I cut the stem near the base and cut the long stem into smaller ones. I propagated the stems in water, and roots appeared really quickly. I then planted those stems back into the mother plant and ended up with a lush plant again. The stem on the original plant produced new leaves too. This plant seems to like bright indirect light. When I had it on an east-facing window, it grew well but the leaves cupped inward. When I moved it a few feet away fromt the window, the leaves grew flat, as they're supposed to. I can't stant when plantslook scraggly so I tend to propagate and add to the main plant, for a larger, fuller, more lush plant.

First string of hearts, people notoriously underwater them. Although they like to dry out between waterings, if you let it get to the point where the leaves fold, the plant will not have enough water to grow large leaves or keep the old leaves.

Hey Kendall, I used to have the same problem with mine too! I noticed that they really don’t like when their leaves get wet OR if they get too much direct light. When you water them make sure the soil is like dirt dry (with the majority of the leaves super curled) then give it a really deep soak. In terms of trying to prop the cuttings what I’ve seen work best for me is if I try to propagate them with another type of pothos in the water and add just a little bit of fertilizer (like a drop). They take a long time to root but I’ve seen that if they are trying to root with something that roots easier they are more likely to succeed. I hope that helps!

Lots of Peperomia on this list, which I 10000% can relate, hahaha. I hope I'm able to give some helpful tips! Peperomia Hope & Watermelon: I tend to think of all Peperomia as terrarium plants, to a certain extent. I think people assume that they need to give it a lot of light and underestimate the amount of humidity that they like, but I've found Peperomia to bleach very easily under high light and really flourish when given a bit more humidity. For the Hope, I would cut back the leggy stems (you could propagate for fun) and either give it a cloche/glass dome or give some extra humidity. Same for the Watermelon Pep. If you have an empty fish tank or something, you could use that for an easy makeshift terrarium. String of Hearts: Mine actually suffered for quite awhile with spider mites before I even noticed it had them. The leaves are so small and they can really hide under the leaves. I'd double check to make sure it's not a pest issue. I ended up cutting mine back pretty drastically and placed it under a cloche and it really took off.

My monstera adansonii is one of my favorite plants but it’s so leggy and every time I water it, leaves turn yellow or brown then drop. I’ve tried changing the soil, giving it more light, giving less light, more water, less water, and nothing is helping 😞

Pepperonis hope- I think yours has too much light. I know that seems opposite for a leggy plant. The one in my grow tent under grow lights gets lime colored and leggy like that and the one in my east window stays compact and a more true green color with bigger leaves. Chop and prop for more compact growth.

I’ve had my peperomia Hope for not quite a year now. It’s in an east window (in northern KS) and I water it about every 2-3 weeks, which might not be enough. It does have 2-3 inch gaps between the leaves, but it’s definitely growing! My pilea Peperomioides is just off to the side of the east window. The leaves have gotten bigger, but they aren’t flat like I would like them to be. The mother plant is about 2 feet tall and has a second group of about 10 babies, so it must be happy.

I also struggled with and gave up on my regular watermelon peperomia. It put out many warped, twisted leaves with long stems. The plant had no structure and took up so much space on my shelf (with grow lights) due to the wild growth and long stems. I found the grow lights helped to a degree but then the color of the leaves would get faded to light green so I tossed it! Sorry about your Thai Constellation. I don’t have one but wondered what might happen if you cut it down to a wet stick and put it in a prop box with perlite or perlite and fluval stratum (a new prop substrate I have heard a lot about and found out about on other KZitem videos). Thanks again for your posts. Always informative and fun!

Hey, Harli. I live in the NE, and keep my String of Hearts (cul. Silver Glory) in a North-facing window without the sky being obstructed (same as my ivy). It does very well, and I have taken many cuttings in less than a year. I am guessing, they like consistent brightness without heat. Some peperomia are actually epiphytes. Try growing some cuttings in a terrarium or on a moist surface to see what happens. The "Shumi Red" was my only peperomia fail (out of 6 species) so far, so it's probably hit or miss with their care.

My nemesis is the Maidenhair fern. I have tried so my times over my decades of houseplant keeping. I have decided to try one final time. And if this one dies, I will give up. I am also not great at growing the Poka Dot plant. Another spieces I don't try to grow anymore are the String of...s (such as the String of Hearts). I love the Thai Constellation, but one failure was enough, besides they get too big for my apartment anyway. Beautiful, but I am with you, they are not worth the disappointment/struggle.

Your videos are so fun to watch! You have such a cute vibe 😁 Mother of thousands/millions though, in always surprised when people have trouble with this one. I find it one of the most fascinating plants to experiment with since they’re so prolific and you don’t have to worry about losing any of them, and they seem to tolerate just about any conditions I put them in, they just grow very differently. Not enough light? They grow like snakey vines. Too much light? Not a thing! They love as much light as possible! Not enough water? They just hang out relaxing and doing nothing until some water comes along. Too much water, I’ve found also not a thing! I have some of mine sitting in standing water, fully saturated soil and they love it! One per pot with lots of space for roots, they grow big. An overcrowded pot with so many you can barely see the soil and they stay tiny little things that are so adorably cute! The best way I’ve found though to get them to grow most stunningly is one per pot, fully saturated soil (a soil pot in a cache pot about half full of water), and full sun from dawn to dusk. This makes them mine grow huge thick and firm leaves (easily 6” long and 3” wide) with short (1/2”) internodes, keeping them compact and lush. Grown this way I find they can grow a foot or so in a summer (and I live in Montreal where winter are long and summers are short!) Unfortunately my most beautiful ones succumbed to fungus and I have to start again this spring. Good thing I have hundreds of babies, even popping up in pots that were nowhere near the mothers!! 😂 One of my go-to plants for beginners wanting something hard to kill!

for the browning edges/yellowing leaves I find that happens with an occasional plant despite the watering/humidity/soil type being right if the plant is really sensitive to salts/metals/chemicals in tap water. I have to either let the water sit out for a long time before using it or use distilled

Mine most difficult is Alocasia Black Velvet, Hoya Pubicalyx, Calathea Rattlesnake, and Calathea Rose Picta. Picky and slow-growing. I've been growing plants for 30+ years if I could find the happy medium for watering maybe they will grow. But the black velvet is one leaf. I think I need to re-pot the Hoya it came to me basically in orchid bark. The rattlesnake and rose picta need to have damp soil all the time. But all are very slow growers.

The Schefflera. I wonder if it has spider mite damage. Maybe needs more humidity. Also lots of salt deposits on the pot. Maybe cut the leaves off, wash it in soapy water, repot it put it close to a humidifier and a grow light. Rosemary and basil always die on me. They should be easy!
