My Pilea has been rather spindly. Is it not getting enough light? I have to make sure I rotate it so it doesnāt keep leaning towards the window. *UPDATED TO CORRECT PLANT* thank you all!

Correct. It is reaching to the light and growing leggy because it wants more light. Grow lights on Amazon these days are great! So many stylish easy options.

Lots of people think this plant wants indirect light/part shade but I have mine right in front of my east-facing window and itās the biggest pilea Iāve ever seen. The leaves are the size of my fist. I also never rotate it so the stems donāt get distressed. I just turned it around to take this picture. I believe you may also have misidentified this plant. Itās a raindrop peperomia, not a pilea. You can tell by the shape of the leaves.

Hi, I think your plant is a raindrop peperomia (polybotrya) and not a pilea. Youāll be able to get better care tips from the app with the reclassification. š
