Not sure what the care of your plant but that looks like signs of over watering

Chinese money plant soil should not be staying moist.m for too long soil needs to be completely dry before watering again

It’s definitely suffering from overwatering but be kind to yourself — overwatering is something we all do at some point, especially when we’re still getting to know a plant. It’s part of the learning curve.

Chinese money plants (and most plants) like a little dry time between waterings. I always check the soil first with a finger or a chopstick and wait until the top 2” are dry before watering again. It’s an easy habit that helps prevent overwatering long-term.

Your plant can bounce back, and you’re doing the right thing by paying attention and asking questions. We’ve all been there 💚

You are a wonderful plant mom! I can’t figure out my pilea either- overwatering? Underwatering? I’ve tried everything and I’m convinced it’s the darkness and change in weather 🤷🏻‍♀️
