# Hi everyone! I have this dark mystery pilea plant that I’m not sure…

Hi everyone! I have this dark mystery pilea plant that I’m not sure how to take care of. I’ve had her for a few weeks but I don’t know if she’s improving or declining. Does anyone know the warning signs for these guys?

Wow that is such a cool looking plant! Another one for my wish list! Lol. Sorry can’t lend much advice. I would say if thats where it lives its probably not enough indirect light. Give it more and maybe it will show itself to you more.

Mine has gotten crispy a few times but keeps coming back from it, so I think they might be tough little critters.

Is it getting too much sun or not enough water when it’s crispy?
