I’ve had the pilea on the left for about 4.5 years. I had always chopped from the mother to prop to give away, but I decided to grow a second one to see what it would look like if I let it go wild. I think I like it better with all the pups. I’m letting my other one go now.

I know the pot is too big for the size but it’s what I had on hand when I was doing a bunch of other plants. Would it be worth downsizing at this point? It seems happy. It’s about 25 inches including the pot. It did tip over a while back so I’m using a bamboo pole now.

Is there anything you can tell me about the health of my Pilea? I think it’s been getting scorched a bit and the lower leaves aren’t looking so hot. This plant survived through years of neglect before I started getting into plants about a year ago. I started fertilizing for the first time this month also.

Thanks!
