Good morning,

Our Pilea recently got these yellow spots on its leaves, curious if this means that there’s root rot?

Most likely it is root rot from overwatering...

I wouldn't worry to much may want to cut the root rot and change the dirt

I can change the dirt, however will the plant go into shock with it being winter right now? I’m located in LA, so it’s not snowing but it is cold.

Hm...maybe put it in the warmest room you have? And use a growth light if you have one.

Also matters how cold, most plants want like 60s to 70 degrees F

Our weather has been up and down. The past two days it got to high 70s but then dropped down to the low 50s in the evening. My partner and I started watering a lot less since the temperature dropped in the fall. Perhaps the cold has impacted the plant. We’ll try to keep it in a warmer temperature controlled room.

If it makes you feel any better...it's around 0 degrees where I am and my plants are doing just fine...

I would just pinch that leaf off. Leaves don’t stay forever. They yellow and drop off eventually. I don’t think it’s root rot. They yellow and other leaves look very healthy.

Thank you Carrie
