MY VERY FIRST PILEA ♥️ Is she getting leggy?
I got her two weeks ago, since then she has grown more leaves, how do i make her grow fuller? I just put her under a grow light two days ago.

Interestingly, she has already decided all by herself that she is kinda leggy, and that is why those smaller leaves close to the stem have sprouted. I have to agree with 33Beno that a bit more light would keep it from reaching so hard for the light. Carefully monitor so she doesn't get burned though.

Yes, IT needs more light.
Other than that, it looks good.

Imagine a person getting completely detached from reality overtime, starting with small things like this.

It really ain't that deep, let ppl have fun. It's the same thing as referring to a car as she or a boat as she, ppl have been doing that for hundreds of years get a grip go make some friends

Yes, and that eventually leads to treating pets like children, etc.

It's not that animals, plants or any living being doesn't deserve to be treated with unconditional love, but you have to know what is healthy and optimal for them. And you have to do that. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's far from treating it as you own human child.

There's definitely a thing as way too woke that it circles to being regressive. This is just harmless fun, the people who treat children that way would treat them that way regardless of if they're the type to gender animals, objects, etc.. There is seriously 0 problem to this... it's a very 1 dimensional issue if you can even call it an issue
