# Hello everyone, My pilea is growing a lot (it also has a little baby)…

_Publié par Giulia le 2024-07-16_

Hello everyone,  
My pilea is growing a lot (it also has a little baby) but the leaves are curled.  
What is the reason and what can I do to fix this?

Thank you!!!

Mine are doing that too right now

OMG 😂  
Idk! Is it hot where you are? Because my other thought was that it’s too hot/too much sun!

### Lindsay a commenté le 2024-07-16

Mine are inside

I think they do this with improper watering and/or light

#### eatyacarbs ha respondido el 2024-07-16

Too little light I suspect based on this photo — and usually too little light ends up leading to too much water

#### Giulia ha respondido el 2024-07-17

I don’t think it’s a light issue because it gets plenty of natural sunlight during the day and I also put a grow light during the winter.  
Could it be too much light? I always wait for the soil to be dry before watering so I’m pretty confident it’s not overwatered.

#### eatyacarbs ha respondido el 2024-07-17

could be too much yeah!

### Giulia a commenté le 2024-07-17

So I looked it up and apparently if the leaves are curved downwards like mine it means it’s too hot and too much light. If they are curved the opposite way, creating a little bowl, it means the opposite!  
I moved it further away from the window and hopefully it’ll recover!
