What’s wrong with my pilea? My previous pilea died after looking like this. I don’t believe it to be overwatered and I have tried fungicide and it also has bonide in it. The leaves are turning yellow, some have black spots and many have alr fallen off.
Yellowing of the bottom leaves is normal as this plant grows taller. Doesn’t look particularly sick but the leaves pointing like that could be it needs to be rotated weekly or somewhere closer to ambient light.

0 J'aime3 weeks
0 J'aime Could be magnesium deficient because the veins are still very green but the rest is paler.
0 J'aimeHow does one fix that?
0 J'aime Either a fertilizer with micronutrients or an Epsom salt spray (easy to look up online). There are several pups growing around the sides which can be stealing nutrients from the mama plant; so if those are gaining leaves and the main stem is gaining leaves, even smaller ones, that’s still pretty normal.

0 J'aime Check your fertilizer, rotate the pot regularly, possibly move it to less unidirectional light, and be absolutely sure the soil is draining and drying correctly.
