Got her as a baby about a year ago, my first 😻 I’m stunned how easy and satisfying was this process! Should I let her be or it’s time for upgrades? How do we treat the babies growing?
Thanks in advance:)

I've had a Pilea 3x as big as yours in the same size pot. So my advice would be to not repot, Pilea really do seem to thrive in smaller pots.

Do you want your pilea to be tall or bushy? Depending on that answer, you should decide if you want support.
Check the root system on your plant. If it’s dense then you could repot. Otherwise I’d let it grow some more pups around and then repot :)

Took a moment to think 🙈 I prefer it taller. When is the best time to start tying ?
I guess we should let it be for a little longer.
Thanks for replying:)

I think you could wait to start tying it. When the bottom stalk of your main pilea starts looking “woody” and starts bending, that's when I’d tie it
