Do they flower!?

#### Mary replied on 2026-07-22

It has one time since I have had it, at the end of January if i remember correctly.

usually these plants naturally grow up due to where the light source is. If you give it more light on all sides (full spectrum) it is more likely to get fuller and grow on all sides

It looks beautiful just as it is to me!

### ABagel commented on 2026-07-22

It looks like it’s reaching towards the light so I would rotate it regularly.

### Aiko commented on 2026-07-22

They keep growing tall the older they get. That's just their growth pattern. I keep my pups in my pot to make it look fuller and rotate to keep straight growth.

Yours is beautiful!!!

Thanks!

I agree, it looks super healthy. Definitely rotate it once a week, in this picture, it’s leaning slightly towards the light. Pileas naturally grow with a straight, upright central stem. Usually letting the pups grow from the bottom makes it look fuller at the base.
