# This is my second pilea, last one i definitely drowned lol so…

_Gepostet von Johnny am 2024-05-28_

This is my second pilea, last one i definitely drowned lol so watching the watering with this one.

Leaves are very droopy and makes me wonder if im not watering enough. looks SAD. Also there is some curling to some leaves.

Some stems are red, new leaf growth is red… whats that about ?

Any tips/opinions would be appreciated!

Mine droops when it wants water

Try giving it more light, growth looks red when in a darker area.

Yes light was the key for me. I overwatered mine but added a grow light n that helped a ton. When I saw the results I wasn’t overwatering as much.

Only water when it’s dry, the soil has changed colour. It needs indirect light. Mine is in the bathroom window and thriving. It loves the steam too.  
New leaves will be curly until they unfold and the new stems will be red too.
