Your soil mix looks very peaty. Would you have used Miracle Grow soil for "cacti & succulents" by any chance? All their mixes are very peaty and quickly become hydrophobic, which means that the soil is not actually getting moist when you are watering..., the water is merely passing through the pot. I think your plant's leaves are closing due to severe dryness at the root level. When you water, make sure the soil gets saturated, or transplant to a decent soil for succulents. They may be succulents, but they still need WATER!

It’s actually a mix of succulent and cactus dirt and some added pumice. It took me a couple times though before i understood gritty dirt. I thought the closed leaves were due to lack of water too, though I read it was the opposite. Maybe I’ll try repotting with grittier dirt. Thank.

Peperomias of all kinds are medium-light plants. They don't need extremely bright light or direct sun. They should do well in bright, indirect light -- which you say you have.

But bear in mind -- Peperomias are not really succulents -- not like Gasteria, Euphorbia, Hawothia or Aloe plants. They're much more in the normal "houseplant" category......which is why I think Margaritaville, above, is on the right track with the soil issue.

Finding or blending the right soil is frequently a challenge. Miracle Grow is known to be NOT SPLENDID soil. But in truth, I have succulents growing in Hoffmans soil -- which is MUCH MORE expenive -- and even with a lot of pumice, it too has grow hydrophobic for some of my plants. As described above, the water is now just pasing through the pot but the roots aren't actually taking it up. If I were you, I would amend that soil with perlite or pumice (preferably washed thoroughly to eliminate dust) to improve drainage. If that doesn't help, I would change out the soil completely. If you can get your hands on Fafard houseplant soil -- that might work, again with perlite or pumice. They no longer make a succulent soil, at least not one I can find. But I like Fafard soils very much. The other option I can recommend is Black Gold soil.

Thanks!! I didn’t know that this was more like a houseplant. I have a thistle family plant like that and it needs more moisture too. I’ll try the soil then! I appreciate it both of you.
