# The saga continues with my pilea, she started losing more leaves, so…

_Publicado por Kimtrovert el 2024-02-02_

The saga continues with my pilea, she started losing more leaves, so i decided to literally look at the root of the problem… it appears that she was in too big of a pot even tho theres 3 mother plants, good news is shes had 6 new baby plants and her roots are still relatively healthy… so i decided to repot them in 3 smaller pots to avoid root rot… has this happened to you? what did you do?

My pilea has been struggling as well but I’m moving this month so waiting to repot - finding your post helpful food for thought!

i would repot if it seems like root rot or fungal problems… my update is rn it seems new growth has cometh and the last few infected leaves are dropping, so far so good. i’ve been waiting for the soil to dry out more or the leaves to droop a little until i water to avoid over watering🫀 hope this helps
