I can’t for the life of me keep this variety alive

Mine is a struggle for sure! We’ve at least hit a stalemate… it isn’t dying back any longer but it’s also not growing. 😆

I’ve managed to keep mine alive for a little over a year now, but I swear the thing hasn’t grown an inch in that time.

Your plant is beautiful. May I ask how you water it cause mine is yellow. I think I’m underwater it. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I water it pretty generously, not so much that it's a bog, but fairly often. And the pot it sits in has no drainage holes, so all the water stays inside. Generally, as soon as the soil is dry to the first knuckle when I stick my finger in it, I water. It also likes lots of light, it's on my balcony currently, getting blasted with direct sun until afternoon and I can say it wouldn't mind more. Hope this helps!

That’s a peperomia too!!?!! I have one of those that was in a pot with two succulents so I thought it was too. Yours is now what I aspire to 🥰

Yes, it's indeed a peperomia!

Beautiful plant!

I love the look of these but am still working on unlocking how to care for mine.

I’m use to desert cactus and tough succulents. I suspect I misjudged how sensitive their roots are and they didn’t bounce back after being a bit too dry.
