What's eating my trailing jade peperomia?

Trailing Jade Peperomia's small round leaves on cascading stems make it relatively easy to inspect, though mealybugs hide where stems meet nodes. Fungus gnats are the biggest practical problem — overwatering this trailing peperomia is common. Spider mites occasionally attack in heated, dry indoor conditions. Keeping the plant in a well-draining mix and not overwatering prevents most issues.

White cotton-like tufts at stem nodes along trailing stems; leaves yellow and vine tips die back Apply rubbing alcohol with a fine-tipped swab to each node; follow with dilute neem oil spray; repeat weekly

Root damage from larvae causes wilting and yellowing; clouds of tiny flies around the soil Allow soil to dry thoroughly between waterings; apply Bti drench; use yellow sticky traps

Pale speckling on tiny round leaves; dulling of leaf color; faint webbing along stems Increase humidity; rinse stems in a gentle shower; apply insecticidal soap spray covering all leaf surfaces
