    Last May I bought a very tiny Spoonleaf Peperomia which has grown quite well, but recently I have noticed that some of the leaves are cracking as they grow larger. Is this as a result of too much light/water or a cold draft? It still seems to be healthy aside from these cracked leaves. Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Well, if the plant looks healthy, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think I've ever heard of cracked leaves coming from overwatering, though I suppose that happens in cacti. Is it possible to reduce the draft?
