They looked ok for a couple days and then became sad and droopy looking. I thought maybe repot shock. Last night I thought maybe there were pests on a plant about 8” away from the Peru. It was a Pilea that has pretty much always looked rather shi🌱🌱y. Long history w/ that plant. It went to Pilea Hell last night. Checked the Perus, thought they might have white dots on them that I could wipe off. Wiped all leaves and stems with alcohol. Today it looks even “droopier”. Wasn’t due to be watered for 4 days. Checked it and it was dry for 3 inches of the 5 inch depth—so I watered it🤷‍♀️ Any thoughts or tips? I’m not convinced that there were pests on either, but wanted to err on the side of caution. I’ve posted pic from today. It didn’t look much better than this yesterday. TIA for any words of wisdom 🪴 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/xuAR1gIbR2W11PWNTlURLw.webp?size=large) ## 9 comments ### Michael commented on 2025-04-10 Does it consistently have water in the bottom of the pot? ### Grandma2aDancer commented on 2025-04-10 No ### Tila\_Tequiira commented on 2025-04-10 Im extremely tickled by “pilea hell” 🤭 I know that doesn’t help, but hopefully these questions do… Is there a draft by the window? Have you inspected the roots for signs of rot? Is the soil mix airy and chunky? ### Grandma2aDancer commented on 2025-04-10 No draft. Soil is airy and chunky. As of 8 days ago when I repotted there was no signs of rot. I’ll check roots again today. #### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-10 This is what I’m left with😢. Is there anything I can do to save them? ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/J7Wv-W7UT_KkOJFPfUGfYw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/mW8H9ooxQaqI4Wu73WcttQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/UUnChS5AT5iNlA2jDgTlFw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/U-wjg7HX6faVci2I8RANonPRVqns8lxY_7WzJMP-Lvk/U2io6AzfRiWDToUW8ePtxA.webp?size=large) ### Michelle commented on 2025-04-10 This plant hates me. It has always questioned my green thumb #### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-10 ??? #### Michelle replied on 2025-04-10 The Peru. It does the same thing to me. One moment it’s extremely happy, then it gets really sad. Right now I took what was left and have them propagating in water. They seem to be thriving there. #### Grandma2aDancer replied on 2025-04-11 I put them in water while I wait to hear if there is anything else I can do for them. It pretty much looks like the roots are dark and, therefore, done for, or at least from what I’ve read🤷‍♀️. I don’t know what else to try. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
