    upload_2019-2-19_19-2-45.jpeg I’ve had this plant for over two years I don’t know what kind of plan it is but it’s been thriving.... up until today. It would be nice to know what type of plant it is, but it would be better if somebody could tell me how to save it.

    I am sorry no-one replied to your posting. It looks like it might be Peperomia, maybe one called 'Raindrop'. I can't tell exactly if the stems connect to the leaves on the edge or inside the edge. The plant I am thinking of has the stem attachment inside the leaf edge. I was hoping someone who actually knew the plant would reply.

    Is the plant still alive? Here is a page on care of peperomias, in case that's what this is:
    How to Grow a Peperomia Plant - Care Tips | Houseplant 411

    The first thing I would check on is whether it has been overwatered and now the roots are rotting - if you still have it, you can remove it from the pot and see what the roots look like.

    It does look like Peperomia polybotrya, Coin-Leaf Peperomia.
