r/PPeperomioides

That’s it. Just really like this fertilizer. I soaked about seven weeks ago and the resulting leaves are like 2x as large as the ones before it.

My favorite plant, pilea peperomiodes

I had to move it so I will need to figure out a new light source for it. It was a little close to its last light anyhow and a couple of leaves show it.

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 really need someone to advise me on how to plant these babies? Do I plant them in with the mother stem still attached? Or do I cut a couple of centimetres above the babies on the mother stem and chop her away??
I’m just a bit unsure because all the babies are at the bottom of the main stem aren’t they gonna suffocate when I bury them?

Hi Pilea lovers ! Why is my Pilea making these curved leaves ?
It’s growing well and fast and having full babies everywhere, but ALL of the leaves look like this.
It happens to my other five Pilea from time to time, but not to this extent !!

Thanks for the help 🪴💕

Hello!

I need some advice to understand what is going on with this baby pilea peperomioides. I think it is either repot shock or the slow release fertilizer in the soil mix. But here it the time line:

1. Purchased it on the last Sunday of May.

2. Two or three weeks of acclimation at my home. It at a window get mostly indirect sun and some direct sun light around 2 - 4 pm. Next to my orchid who is doing very well. There is an AC vent above. I keep my home in upper 70s during the day and lower at night. So the air runs but not all the time

3. After about two to three weeks of acclimation, I repotted it. The soil it was in was VERY Hydrophobic. New soil is one part seedling soil to one part succulent soil and a handful of perlite.

4. Five to six days after repotted, 8 to 10 leaves fell off....😵‍💫 and she was droopy.

5. Her growth stopped until around the beginning of July. New leaves that were forming during repot became deformed.

6. In mid July, new baby leaf....the leaf was light brown and green and it's stem was brown.

7. Late July and early August, another baby leaf. Light brown and green. Stem brown...

Is it still suffering from root shock or is the slow release fertilizer burning the roots. I water only when the top inch is dry or when the soil pulling from the pot.

Thank you!

Hi all, I’m struggling with getting the water levels right with the mama. It seems like there’s too much water on bottom, not enough on top. I wait til the top 3 inches are dry before watering but the pot still feels heavy like it has water.
I am using cactus soil and put it in new soil a couple of weeks ago.

Any advice for a newbie? Thank you in advance!

I water it once a week or once 1 and half weeks.once it started dropping I gave it water and waited but the leaves don’t seem to be going back to what it looked like before. Do I need to repot it??? It does have many pups about 3/4. The last picture is what it looked like when I last watered it
