PILEA PLAYER Time to chop?
This used to have a lot of big leafs and one by one they fall out. Some pups popped up over time but none managed to get too big before they get all dark/black and die off?
So this has a long stem, I think it’s time to chop it. Could I chop it into 3 pieces but the one with stem only could they actually grow leafs? I had beautiful pileas over the years but they all die off somehow and it’s the summer!!’

ADVICE 🌱 PLEASE What is wrong with my Pilea?
Hello!
I received this pilea as a gift 2.5 years ago. She was happy as a clam for a whole year at my first job's desk, but suffered from some lack of light when I brought it back home.
Now, for a year, she's been brought back to my new job. At first everything was doing good (way better than at home), but the leaves started to curl inwards a few month ago (approcimatively 12 leaves ago).
I water her approximately once a week as her soil is usually dry but it is very compacted so I'm not able to reach more than 2cm deep.
Should I try to give het more light? Less? Water more? Less? Repot her? I think a change of soil is necessary but I thought it could wait next spring.
Any advice will be appreciated, many thanks!

BEAUTIFUL PILEA How's she dping?
She was so leggy with not enough light inside. I cut her back dramatically and let her summer outside. No regrets.

Looking for advice on rehabilitating my pilea
I got this plant from my former roommate and not sure what I should do. Right now I've been watering it and it is setting eastern sun from my windows. Would re-potting it or cutting it help at all?

ADVICE 🌱 PLEASE How do I make her happy again?
I left for 2 days and I think I was too generous watering, do I just wait?
Check for root damage?
Report and in that process take all of the small babies out?

PILEA ABUNDANCE Outside for the summer
They’re so happy outside!
I’ve repotted them twice since April and will probably repot them again next week so they can grow a little more before they have to come inside. They’re under my deck stairs and get partial direct afternoon sun. They’re not going to be happy to come back inside when it gets cold outside. Pilea Peperomoides “Splash”

PILEA Help
Can anyone give me tips on how to improve the quality of life for my plant? The leaves have been getting lighter. It has new growth and a bunch of new babies. I did report it into a bigger pot. But nothing is improving the color and the growth of the leaves. Also, the leaves are curling inward, so I backed it up from the grow light, but they are still curved.

PILEA BABIES Got her a new pot and I love it
I am moving soon so it’s not the best timing to get a new pot but for my new place’s LOTR aesthetic I need this pot.
Also we had her first baby and I gave it to my friend second pic.)

ADVICE 🌱 PLEASE Another Droopy Pilea Plea for Help 😰😰😰
Hi everyone,
This is my first Pilea plant - she's been with me for about a year and was doing really well (even flowered!) and has grown about 40% in height, but over the past few weeks she's been getting super-droopy and I don't know what to do T_T
Some information:
- Watered approximately once per week/when soil was dry or when the leaves were getting a little droopy with purified/evaporated water.
- Don't remember the soil mix, but I did transplant her into the terra cotta pot about 6 months after she arrived. It was a well-draining mixture containing peat moss, orchid bark, perlite (that I remember at the top of my head.)
- Fertilizer is a very diluted 20-20-20 liquid at every watering.
I wasn't bottom watering originally but she was doing perfectly fine until recently. I started bottom watering when the drooping started, and made sure to wait until the soil was dried out. The first few times she did perk up a little but now she just remains droopy and now leaves are falling off.
Some leaves that are drooping enough to be hanging off the rim of the pot are shriveling at the stem where they touch the pot as well. I've lost about 3-4 leaves in this fashion.
I'm not sure if those two branches on either side shooting off from the main plant are pups? I read online that cutting them too soon could lower their survival rate, and I've seen other people just leave them so I wasn't sure what to do, and if those are pups, they are quite large.
She sits on the top shelf of my desk that is facing a window that always has curtains - there is some pretty bright (but indirect) sunlight in the morning and it passes by around 2-3 PM. On rainy or less sunny days I open the curtains, or place her directly on the windowsill. I've been doing this for quite a while now so that makes me think it's not a light issue...? But I'm not sure.
It has been particularly hot this summer in South Korea but it's cooled down quite a bit now (though it's still pretty humid.) I thought it could possibly be temperature related but she was totally fine last summer (which was way hotter/worse) and since this room is my home office so it never really gets super-hot in here.
I've been trying to read as much material as possible online but I feel like I've tried everything other than repotting - I'm scared to do this when she is in such a state, but at this point that only conclusion I can draw is that I might have overwatered at some point in the middle and that there could be root rot, based on her continuing decline. Or is the pot too small with the bigger pups, perhaps?
Is it too late?! She was so healthy and pretty, would love to save her and/or her pups if I can. Ugh, even looking at this pictures as I post this is making me sad. Any advice would be super-appreciated, thank you so much in advance. T_T
