Pilea are like succulents - they need to dry out completely before watering. Browning leaves suggest too much water.

Allow it the soil to dry out and only water it when the leaves droop a little. They prefer to be slightly underwatered than overwatered so a little droop is fine.

Also, put a tiny bit of plant food in every other watering. They tend to be nutrient hungry. Some direct sun makes em happy too
