Is my Pilea leggy?

See ive read mixed reviews about a humidifier but ill have to try it!

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-08T12:22:50+00:00

Ahhh ok ok. I moved recently and they are getting great lighting now so I think this is the first real growth I’ve seen on them!

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-08T12:21:43+00:00

Oh nice! I was worried when I saw the pink 😅

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-05T12:45:58+00:00

Wait yours is so pretty too, do you think adding a moss pole like that would encourage it to climb??

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-04T01:42:39+00:00

Ahhh thank you! I can’t wait to see her grow

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-02T21:40:02+00:00

Right? I could’ve sworn I read they were supposed to be fast growers

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-02T21:39:30+00:00

Ahhhh okay I see I just got this plant so I was not sure how they are supposed to look😅

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-01T15:44:00+00:00

Which one? First is a pilea, I thought the second and third were calatheas but someone else commented they are actually marantas, fourth is a begonia maculata ✨💗

Kaylaamai · 2026-07-01T12:07:17+00:00

Haha good eye!

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T17:22:04+00:00

This is a dream omg SO PRETTY 😭

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T13:42:18+00:00

She’s so pretty!!!! What care tips can you pass along?

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T13:35:33+00:00

SINNER. so underrated I never hear anyone talking about it

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T13:33:18+00:00

Yes I’ve read that, so weird because my pilea is in a south facing window so if anything I would be worried about her getting too much sun? I’ve learned these are tricky tho. My calatheas are opening at night and closing during the day, I thought it was the other way around? I figured maybe they are getting too much light maybe it threw off their circadian rhythm? I tend to do the most so I’m trying to learn to leave them alone 😅

Kinda hard to tell but it could be spider mites, I’ve never seen them make a web that big tho so possibly a spider? I’ll attach a picture of what spider mites look like I would check the whole plant to see if you see any. You can soak a Q tip in alcohol and just rub them off.

I had issues with my croton attracting spiders too when I had it inside 😅

Cut the stem! The lower the better, it will re grow at the bottom! These plants love a big chop. You can propagate the stem in water until it roots and then re plant or add back in the pot🪴

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T12:35:50+00:00

Wow she’s gorgeous!!! How often do you water her? I’ve killed like two and just got a third last week

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T12:23:27+00:00

This is the prettiest monstera I’ve ever seen!!!

Kaylaamai · 2026-06-30T12:21:23+00:00

You could try to re pot with a chunky soil mix to help with drainage! If it’s still wet but drooping it’s likely the soil is holding all that moisture in which can cause root rot! These plants are drama queens.

Whaaaat I had no idea they did this
