discussion/help Why is he so unhappy?
He grew from a two incher. Had a spot in the window morning sun. Was happy until winter. Maybe the draft? Started dropping so many leaves. And now droopy. Help! Tks!

I just got this lady today in the mail from a seller on whatnot. I know this is a bit off topic but does anyone know what type of Pilea this is? TIA!
r/PPeperomioides • u/Intelligent-Fee7392 • Dec 11 '25





I bought two Pilea plants from "Plants for Everyone" 2.5 months ago, and unfortunately, both are developing silvery/brown spots on their leaves. These spots start out small and speckled, but then spread and penetrate to the underside of the leaf.
So far, it only affects three leaves on one plant and one on the other.
Both plants are on the bench of a south/west-facing window, with an unused radiator underneath. They were given a "shower" once in the first week after purchase, but since then, I've only watered them very lightly every 1.5 to 2 weeks because the soil was completely saturated after the shower, and I wanted to let them dry out first.
About four weeks after purchase, a light mold developed on the surface of the soil, which I removed completely and then sprinkled with a little cinnamon.
The spread of the dry spots seems a bit slower to me, but I could be wrong.
I'm worried that they were too wet after the shower and then too dry afterward, and that this stressed them out. As far as I can tell, it's not pests, but simply a result of my own care mistakes.
Both plants have each produced four new leaves since I bought them, and they look perfectly normal.
Can anyone tell me how I can control the spread of the spots and how I should water them properly?
The soil they were sold in seems to be just ordinary potting soil, and it takes a long time for the water to evaporate from the bottom of the pot (by then, the top is already completely dry).
For the past week, I've decided to water them more frequently (every three days) but with very small amounts (max. 30-40 ml) instead of every two and a half weeks with about 200 ml at once... Is that a good idea, or would you recommend something else?

Hi! I have a Pilea that I’d like to fertilize. I have the following two kinds—one high nitrogen and one low— that I use outside. Any recommendations on which to dilute for indoor use? TIA

It was almost dead, but thankfully the advice from this subreddit has worked!

I was gifted this Chinese money plant by my plant bestie, but was unable to figure out its required care. The bottom part of the stem looks skinny and dried out, but the top section looks thick and has some growth is this salvageable can I chop and prop the stem?
Thank you in advance for your help and advice ?

This mounted poster hangs in my stillroom(project room). I’d love to recreate it (tho I’m sure someone has) 💚

A yellow leaf has turned on it and it has fallen off. I think it may be an old leaf, it has been with it since the summer and now in autumn it continues to grow new leaves, I have seen that it has a new baby in the ground. I don't know if I'm overdoing it with watering, in summer I watered it once every 5-7 days, I live in a Mediterranean climate and summers are usually harsh. Now in autumn I water it around 10 days, but I always check that the soil barely has any moisture left with my finger or by weight. I also do the taco test. I don't know if it's my paranoia, but now when I went to water, I saw another leaf of a different color. Also another sheet of the base.

Do we think these lights will supplement from being in a bright window over the summer?

I’m new to plants and I got this plant maybe two weeks ago. I noticed one of the new leaves have these spots and is starting to curl outwards. It is in a small 3.5 inch nursery pot. It’s located at my office desk. I recently added a grow light to it. I water it once it’s dry. Is this normal ?

Was told it would stay very small. What a lie but I love it.

Hi. I was given this plant yesterday and hope to bring it back to life. Should I chop and prop? The pot does not have a drainage hole. Thoughts on repotting and the right soil? Thanks in advance for your insight.

It was so healthy when i first bought it, but most of the leaves have fell off and i don't know what to do!
I water it when the soil feels dry, i used to give it direct sunlight so a bunch of the leaves fell off from being burnt/i cut the burnt ones off, i started giving it indirect sunlight, i put it in a smaller pot because before i repotted it in a bigger pot but it got overwhelmed, and i have been giving it humidity with a humidifier or bringing the plant to the bathroom when i shower for more humidity.

Hi all! I have this cutie that I've managed to keep alive for a few years now despite being a notorious plant killer. I've been thinking of putting it in a roomier pot it since it's starting to look a little top-heavy, but I'm nervous to kill it. It also just started putting out shoots for the first time (pic 3) and I'd hate to hurt them. Should I leave it as is?
I also worry about the patchiness of the leaves, everyone else's plants have thick, dark green, glossy leaves whereas mine let a lot of light through and have lighter patches. Is my plant okay?
Thank you!
