I wanted to show off my pilea! And share this tip: It got really big after I started adding crushed egg shells to the soil.

Hi Carmen! Your pilea is beautiful!!! I just got one and it’s starting to have some brown dots on the leaves. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?  
What should I do to make her grow tall?

I haven’t dealt with brown spots before. Are you fertilizing your plant on a schedule? Also, it might be the case that your pilea needs a size-up pot because I see that there’s a lot of pups. I’d check if the roots are coming out of the hole in the bottom 😊

Could it be sun spots?

I have heard these like a little extra calcium. It looks great!
