They're so beautiful! I believe they love a lot of light to keep them compact... I have mine under grow light for 16 hours and growing beautifully (so far, lol). Be careful if you put her by the window, depending on how scorching your sun is, unless fully acclimated. I water mine when the leaves are soft, mostly dry in between waterings. Goodluck! I love how big and round their leaves are and shiny glossy. Looking sparkling clean all the time, lol.

Mine also got a wee bit burnt in a west facing window when I first brought him home. I added a sheer filter and it’s been perfect ever since

They love water

do you think it would like a self watering pot?

One of mine is in a self watering, and ones in a tray that I water a few days after it dries out

The best tip I could give is to give your pilea a good amount of light. At first mien was near a window and started to loose its leaves. Then I gave it a grow light and it has started to make so many baby Plants. If your is loosing its bottom leaves and not looking dark green try giving it more light it always helps! :)
