r/PileaPeperomioides

I had never owned a pilea before, the first photo is of it in April of this year when I received it as a gift from my partner. It was in a sad state since I didn't know how to care for one. I learned as much as possible and this is how she looks now in October. She might not be perfect but she's doing much better. Her large leaves and color bring me lots of joy 🍀💚 Any care tips are welcome.

I have my two pileas and they are both growing but not ful and beautifully. I use a grow light and they get 3500-4000 LUX from 0600-1900. I water them once the soild gets dry. I use liquid fertilizer when I water them. The first plant the leaves turn yellow but take forever to fall off. They both have curved leaves no matter how far back or close I put them to the grow light. First three images are the first plant.
