Can someone please help me figure out why my Pilea is looking like this? Its leaves keep on folding in and usually when the leaves get to a certain size they fall off

Mine did this the first few months I had it and then it finally started filling out and behaving.

You may be overwatering it.  
This plant loves sunlight and loves to dry out completely between waterings. I’ve heard that it is related to succulents and retains water well.

Thank you so much!!

I’m thinking of getting one for a small glazed pot (inside and out) but maybe that isn’t optimal. I love this plant and don’t want to get one until I know just what to do.

I use a terracotta pot. I keep it in the window and water every 5ish days

That’s a beautiful plant and a great picture! I didn’t know that they have such a strong trunk like a tree. Wow! Something to work towards.
