Does that pot have drainage holes? If not looks like it might be getting too much water or watered too frequently.

Yes it has drainage holes

pilea leaves crinkle like this when they’ve been underwatered. if it’s rootbound the planta schedule will likely have you under-watering your plant. check the roots, make sure it has room to grow, and repot if necessary. in future i’d recommend waiting until the top 1/2” to inch of soil is dry, and no longer, this should prevent wrinkly leaves

Thank you

This happened to me. Did you check the roots to make sure they aren’t rotted? I overwatered mine once and that was all it took.

#### Plantlicious respondió el 2023-11-04

No I have not checked the roots for rot. It shouldn’t be rotted. Since repotting it a few months ago, I check the soil before each watering. I repotted because it was looking the way it looks now 😂 I’m kind of over it at this point. She’s about to have a new home.

Mine also looks like this- wrinkly and some yellowing with sporadic/distorted growing. It’s also next to a south facing window. Did you have luck with it? Mine has been in this state for years, and it’s still hanging in there.
