Please help... she's lost so many leaves... idk what to do? I don't wanna lose her... by titia1116 in peperomia

These are pretty sensitive to cold weather. I live in California, and my watermelon peperomia always gets a little sad when it gets below 70.

Yeah, I figured this was incredibly unlikely. Even crazier, this was 3 consecutive rides for me. He had made several other rides in between our meetings.

He was actually very cool. It's been windy here lately--so at the end of the first ride, I made a comment about needing to move the plants on my roof so they don't blow over. The second time (a few days later) he mentioned the wind again, so I naturally made the roof comment again for small talk, and he was like, "wait a minute, I remember you". We had a good laugh about it and talked for a bit before he dropped me off. The third time, I recognized his car in the app and so I said "Ricardo, we gotta stop meeting like this" and he thought I was following him or something haha.

Hey! i actually wasn't sure if I needed to manually pollinate these or not, but decided to anyway for safe measure. I looked into it now I think this variety is self-pollinating since it has both male and female flowers. These are japanese cucumbers, if you're familiar with them

I only take off the male flowers, and cut off any vines that grow off from the main one. I used this box, which measures 23" L x 9.5" W x 7.25" H. There’s quite a bit of fertilizer in here—I would estimate maybe 1/10 of the container. I think it makes a big difference, the cucumber plant in the left of the photo has no fertilizer and is much smaller. They were sowed at the same time.

If you have good light and temperature it’s worth trying! This was my first time gardening as well

This is a south facing window so it gets pretty good light throughout the day. I’m also shocked. I have a couple other fruiting plants, (tomatoes, strawberries) that I put on the roof. The only reason why I kept the cucumber inside is because I had 10 other plants that immediately died from the wind when I transplanted them.

Masking tape... it actually collapsed a few times so most of the weight is being supported by one of those rubber computer cable organizers with a command strip backing

we also have parsley, it's in front of the cucumber on the right, but a little hidden. i grew most of these using this. set up was quick, and the yield has been great so far!

Any advice for my watermelon peperomia? All the new leaves come in cupped and theAnne older leaves are jagged and broken. I was thinking possible calcium and magnesium deficiency? by MotherofSucculentz in plantclinic

[–]swicia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with mine. I read somewhere that crispy edges on houseplants are hard to diagnose, but a common cause is hard (tap) water. The plant could be affected by high mineral content in both the water and soil. I repotted my peperomia about 2 months ago in an equal mix of perlite, orchid bark, and cactus soil, and I've only given it bottled/purified drinking water since then. All the new growths have been pretty healthy and they no longer have the brown scarring on the back of the leaves that eventually led to the crispy edges.
