What am I doing wrong?

I got my pilea almost 3 months ago and although I was told it was a fast growing plant, it’s not really growing. It sits in front of a grow light around 8hrs a day (I don’t have windows in my office where it is). I repotted it when I first got it and put it in a chunky soil mix and I’ve been watering it when the pot feels light, but I see how everybody else’s is so full and I’m not sure what to do.

Proper Care Philo Bikini?

Hi All! My coworker bought these Philodendrons (They’re labeled “Philodendron Pink Bikini’s”) on sale at the grocery store for $1 each!!! a couple of weeks ago; anyway he gifted them to me today and I’m just looking for any tips to get them back healthy! I have a Philo Pink Princess already that I’ve attached to a moss pole to climb, but I haven’t bought a plant in bad shape like these before.

Downsize Pot?

Hi all! I’m a relatively new plant mom and new to the plant community 😊 This is my baby Posi, short for Mariposa and I got her in January. I lost a couple of leaves in the beginning due to shock and relocation twice, but she’s been thriving since. I keep her in my office so she’s under a grow light set for 10 hours a day. I recently repotted her almost 2 weeks ago and I used a tropical potting soil mix and added perlite and orchid bark, but I’m noticing how much the bigger pot is retaining moisture; I was watering her once a week once she got under the grow light, but I haven’t had to water her since I repotted her (I use a plant watering probe to check soil) and now I’m wondering if I should downsize her pot. I don’t want her to experience any root rot, but she has a new leaf that is still coming in so I also don’t want to bother her if she’ll be okay as is.
