# Help! My pilea has been doing amazingggg and I’ve been so excited…

_Posted by Haileyy63 on 2025-05-27_

Help! My pilea has been doing amazingggg and I’ve been so excited about it’s growth. Well I went to water it this morning and noticed two leaves looked like this. It doesn’t seem to be scale because I can’t wipe them off. He gets 10+ hours of natural indirect light, about 2 feet from the window. I water him about 1/week now with summer months.

I’ll have to check when I get home!

Looks to me like overwatering or a fungal issue and the plant may not be getting enough humidity.

I’ll have to ease up on the watering and monitor- thank you!!

It kinda looks like it's edema starting.

You could always try spraying some fungicide on it to see if it helps!
