I have a pilea in an east facing window. The bottom leaves seem to be droopy. It’s planted in chunky soil and I don’t think I overwater. Can someone weigh in?

The leaves look kind of bumpy so I think you’re under watering it.

Probably fine just keep an eye on it. It might actually be underwatering.

Thank you @abagel and @reptileO. Of course the Rx on this app said overwatered. What’s your experience w AI here?
