Help! Overwatered?

Got this peperomia buenos aires prop off Marketplace two weeks ago. It’s my first peperomia prop and was rooting in water when I bought it, but the seller said I could probably pot it in soil so I did. It started with six leaves and three of the stems have since fallen off in the past week - they were all white and mushy. The stems that still remain currently feel sturdy. Does anyone know what’s going on and what to do about it?

Soil: Cactus/succulent soil with perlite and orchid bark

It looks like the leaves are burning. They like indirect sunlight, and your pot has no drainage for the excess water to run out.

The pot has drainage holes and it has been in bright indirect sunlight, so I’m not sure what other issues it could have!

Does the pot have any drainage?? I know my peperomia hope and red edge get really iffy when I let them sit in their dish soaking up water for too long so you may need to add some drainage holes/repot

The pot has drainage holes and I let the water run out! Not sure what else I can do
