4β pot with drainage

Last watered 1 year ago
Mine did that when it got too much water or got watered too often. It can be a very picky plant! πͺ΄ The success Iβve had is to let it dry out some before watering. It seems to be a shallow rooted plant so Iβm careful to not let the soil get too wet because it just sits in the bottom of the pot and gets icky. I also alternate top watering and bottom watering. I used to bottom water everything but with the fragile trailing plants like Pilea and string of pearls too much water on top can make their stems rot and too much water in the soil leads to root rot. Iβve lost the OG pilea I had but propped some cuttings and so she lives on! The offspring likes it drier than I thought a pilea would like. Also interestingly enough has done better since I had to cover her up at night. sheβs a workplace plant now and we have store cats π that come in at night so I have to protect her and them! I put a plastic container over her and sheβs looking π better than ever. It must increase the humidity Iβm guessing π€·ββοΈ π€·π
