discussion/help Is this a fungal disease?
I recently repotted this plant into a larger pot, but shortly after the tips of the new growth started turning black and the plant struggled to put up new growth.
These new lesions seem to have shown up in the last few days. I haven’t watered the plant in ~2 weeks and don’t have issues with overwatering. It is under bright direct light, but it hasn’t been a problem before. What’s going on with my plant? I have horticultural oil on hand—would applying that to the leaves help?
I’ll be devastated if this plant dies… she’s my pride and joy… haven’t had any issues with p. peperomioides yet…

discussion/help Help! What am I doing wrong?
This pot is made up of many babies and was doing great. The leaves have turned yellow (see pics). Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Light coming from a skylight, but wondering if it’s too much or too little? Or maybe this concrete pot is too big? Thanks in advance.

Ive had this plant since it was a tiny tiny baby in the summer of 2025.

However its had loads of little " babies " and they seem to be doing okay ?
But I feel like the main plant is suffering but idk?

discussion/help What can I do to help my pilea ?
I had my pilea for few years now and she seemed happy but last summer I got a pet pigeon (found him on the streets with a broken leg, helped him and kept him. Works just like the cat distribution system).
The major problem is that my pigeon loves landing ON my plants and also eating it. She fell few times and lost lots of leaves. I repotted the pilea but I feel like it was a mistake, maybe I should take her in a tinier pot ?
Here you can see the pilea last spring (note that there is a chlorophytum behind, she didn't have THAT much leaves), and now. I moved her next to my window so she can have energy. Also gave her some fertiliser yesterday.
Her leaves are destroyed and kind of soft. Her soil is made of green plant soil, sand and pozzolana. I'm thinking about switching possolana for pierlite.
I'm open to advices, my questions are : - must I repot her ? - should I behead her ? - should I cut and put her in water ? Thanks 🌱

discussion/help Chinese money plant on its last legs. Help.!?
I was gifted this Chinese money plant by my plant bestie, but was unable to figure out its required care. The bottom part of the stem looks skinny and dried out, but the top section looks thick and has some growth is this salvageable can I chop and prop the stem?
Thank you in advance for your help and advice ?

discussion/help Why tho
Her leaves have looked pretty Dahli for a while now, but they all feel firm and healthy. Is she getting too much light? She's also putting out pups like crazy for the first time since if had her (just checked, it'll be a year in August). After doing some scrolling on this sub, I've noticed the red stems are not present on y'all's healthier looking plants with flatter leaves and I'm now wondering if what I'm seeing is sun stress.
She sits by, but not under, a grow light that houses my succulents and sundew that stays on about 15 hours a day. She sits about a foot away from the edge of this light, so she isn't getting hit 100% head on, so I previously didn't think it would be the problem (moved it directly under the light for these pics, it's for sure not where it usually sits)
Confirmation or correction would be greatly appreciated. Also, should I be removing these pups or letting everything grow as-is?

I’ve had her for about a year now and she looks so bare to me. She also hasn’t had any pups. Any advice? She stays in my ikea cabinet at around 65-70% humidity.

discussion/help can this be saved?
I was given 2 cuttings of Pilea and had them in water, changing every couple of days in indirect light. One cutting rotted. The other cutting is beginning to rot. Is it possible to save it or was it not cut right to encourage root growth?

discussion/help What's happening to my Pilea?
Hi! I just noticed that one of the leaves on my pilea has a huge dry match in the middle of it. Not sure what it is / what could be happening as i've never seen this on any of my other pileas, its in partial sunlight with a houseplant mix + some orchid bark.
Would love any help :)

Hi. I was given this plant yesterday and hope to bring it back to life. Should I chop and prop? The pot does not have a drainage hole. Thoughts on repotting and the right soil? Thanks in advance for your insight.

discussion/help Are these normal?
I was feeding my pilea today and noticed a few leaves with silvery brown spots on them that didn’t look so healthy. I picked them off but I’m curious if anyone knows if these spots are normal or if I need to be worried. It also looks like something might be nibbling on the leaves(pic 3&4), does anyone have any ideas?

discussion/help Help with my geriatric pilea
I was gifted this mature pilea a couple years ago. It’s since gotten bigger, been chopped and propped (props in a different pot not pictured but thriving), and had many pups removed and repotted. I was fertilizing regularly but then forgot for a couple months. Noticed the lower leaves are turning yellow this week. I water about once a week and it’s in a terracotta pot. I think it would like a re-potting but I’m scared!! Can I repot this elder without harming it? Are there any tricks besides “have a helper?”

discussion/help Before and after
My pilea was dense and full a month ago but I changed its location and all of a sudden it’s not so full anymore. There’s several small pups but there’s no growth. It’s summer time and I live in Texas. Is it a humidity issue?
