Question

Pilea Plant

Answer

Answer

Also what kind of plant is it?

Answer

Are the younger leaves turning yellow too or just the old ones?

Answer

Because it is a mountain plant try to reduce watering and make sure you soil is still fresh and is providing enough nutrients for you plant to flourish

Answer

@alinayp I would think @Skye123 is maybe on to something with the light. Since it's only the old leaves it's not a big deal. The plant is just shedding them in favor of the younger leaves. if you up there light slightly it may be able to retain the older leaves for longer.

Answer

Pilaes tend to need more light as they are an alpine plant so try to give them more light. Light through your window is phenomenally weaker than direct light from the sun to make sure it’s getting enough as it’s evolved  to be on the top of mountains where it is closer to the sun so has stronger sunlight￼￼

Answer

Some of the younger leaves higher up look a very healthy dark green. Do you rotate your plant? I notice that when leaves don’t get sun for a while they are “abandoned” and the energy is put elsewhere.

Answer

Make sure it’s not sitting in water and it could be your tap water. I use a brita to filter the water for my plants 😊
