hi, so i received this little one in water from my cousin. some leaves were curled. she finally rooted so i placed her and dirt and she’s been growing lots of new leaves! some are tiny and it seems curled. will they grow bigger? or uncurl? advise welcomed. thanks!

They should definitely grow bigger! Some of the curling should hopefully go away as well, but I’m not sure if there’s any other underlying reasons. Just make sure it gets tons of natural light!

curled pilea leaves usually mean it’s been underwatered. it could also be because it hasn’t established itself in the pot yet. i wait for the top inch or two of soil to dry on my pilea before watering again, and flush the soil thoroughly often to get rid of excess salts, otherwise they will accumulate in the soil and on the back of the leaves

i’m always scared to over water so i let it dry out more than not. but is this a plant that i should not take that approach to?

My Pilea likes to dry out a bit before watering again, at least in my experience! Just not completely!

appreciate it!!

One of my favs! My pileas definitely have a bit of randomized curling here and there. I wouldn’t worry about it toooo much if it’s growing new leaves. They do get bigger if they’re happy with their soil/water levels. I tend to let mine dry out at LEAST half way before watering. 🌿
