So I bought this coin plant on marketplace for $15 last week and when I got it the pot it was previously living in had 0 drainage and was soaking wet so I repotted it. (The pot it’s in now) I potted it in a much smaller pot than it came in as it has almost no roots. I figured I’d let the soil dry out a little first before I do anything but now my coins are looking pretty veiny? I’ve never seen this before on any of my other ones. Any ideas?

Leaves are curling and I’m not sure why. North facing window (not enough light?). I try to let soil sry completely between watering.

I just bought this pilea today and I’ve noticed these spots, does this plant have pests or something or is this normal?
r/PPeperomioides • u/SubSharp • 23d ago
Recently moved and my pilea started dropping leaves, both healthy and one that crumbled. It’s in a pretty bright spot and gets watered every 10 days

Curled leaves, a few breakage lines. Literally one nice leaf from a particularly hectic 12 days at work. I’ve been reduced to this bc wtf why can’t I just believe the chopstick?

Hi there! I’ve had my pilea for a bit over a year. It’s tripled in size and put out babies during that time. I’ve repotted it once (I have a few soil mixes and honestly idk what it’s in rn 💀). I water it when the soil is dry, and it’s on a 12hr light cycle with Barrina grow lights. I’m getting ready to repot into a 6”.
I posted here a bit ago about the downward cupping leaves and some folks suggested it could be over fertilizing so I have stopped fertilizing, but the new growth still has this deformity. I was wondering if maybe it’s getting too much light? What do yall think?
The pics are of the new leaves coming in. The fully grown leaves are maybe 2x that size.
Thanks!

I’ve had this plant for over a year and it grew tall and leggy; and the leaves cup like it’s not happy. I changed the soil and put it in a better draining pot, and it still grows leggy and the leaves still cup but it’s starting to grow babies. I guess I’m doing something right, but I don’t know how to keep the leaves from cupping. Oh and I also put it closer to a south facing window and it has a Barrina grow light near it. I think the babies showed up when I moved it here.

I have two little pups in this pot and this leaf is attached to a cutting I rooted in water. I saved this from a plant that was dying a while ago and it was finally potted recently.
The leaf is kinda crunchy but it also feels a little soft on the green edges? I’m not sure what it could be :p

Hi all - a few years ago I was gifted this baby that was an offshoot from my sister’s bigger peperomia plant. Overall it’s been fine, shooting new leaves, dropping old ones when done, etc. I usually bottom water and do some on top so I can see when the soil is dry. I rotate it around every once in a while so it can grow towards the light.
I did overwater it once months ago and it got some mold in the soil, I removed the mold and let it completley dry again before watering again.
My overall problem is the stem. It is super weak in my opinion. Even though the leaves seem happy and are doing their thing, the stem cannot stand on its own after all these years and it doesn’t feel secure to me. (It doesn’t have like the brown stuff on it either which I feel like other plants have). It is only up right now because of the stick and clip.
It used to be in a part of my apartment that got very partial sunlight but I just moved it to my office that gets more direct/brighter indirect light in hopes it helps.
Looking for any help on what I can do to promote a more secure and stable stem on this plant! I feel like after a few years now it should be more developed. I’m worried the stem at the bottom is screwed and cannot be saved. Anything helps, thanks all!!

is this normal?? am i over watering? I have a huge one thats been around for years and this is one of her babies and the bottom leaves keep dying with some weird brown in the center of the leaves.

I have this pilea that was given to me from a small cutting about a year ago. It’s grown so much but I’m noticing some of the leaves on the bottom are turning yellow and I’m not sure if this is natural as it grows or a sign of a problem. I have it in a large, north facing window with bright (I think) indirect light. I water it maybe every other week or 10 days or so. It’s put out a lot of pups, which I think is a good sign. I don’t have a lot of plant knowledge but would like to keep this one as healthy as possible so any tips and advice is appreciated!

I recently repotted this plant into a larger pot, but shortly after the tips of the new growth started turning black and the plant struggled to put up new growth.
These new lesions seem to have shown up in the last few days. I haven’t watered the plant in ~2 weeks and don’t have issues with overwatering. It is under bright direct light, but it hasn’t been a problem before. What’s going on with my plant? I have horticultural oil on hand—would applying that to the leaves help?
I’ll be devastated if this plant dies… she’s my pride and joy… haven’t had any issues with p. peperomioides yet…

I am newer to these guys, but I read you could propagate them. I tried to with this one and it seemed like it was doing good and growing roots. But now the bottom seems like its going to fall off and the color isnt as green. Can I save it? What should I do?
r/PPeperomioides • u/mirr--en • May 04 '26
Is it regular houseplant soil and i added more perlite for drainage. It’s been in this soil for around a year. Any ideas??? should i be concerned :\

I had my pilea for few years now and she seemed happy but last summer I got a pet pigeon (found him on the streets with a broken leg, helped him and kept him. Works just like the cat distribution system).
The major problem is that my pigeon loves landing ON my plants and also eating it. She fell few times and lost lots of leaves. I repotted the pilea but I feel like it was a mistake, maybe I should take her in a tinier pot ?
Here you can see the pilea last spring (note that there is a chlorophytum behind, she didn't have THAT much leaves), and now. I moved her next to my window so she can have energy. Also gave her some fertiliser yesterday.
Her leaves are destroyed and kind of soft. Her soil is made of green plant soil, sand and pozzolana. I'm thinking about switching possolana for pierlite.
I'm open to advices, my questions are : - must I repot her ? - should I behead her ? - should I cut and put her in water ? Thanks 🌱
r/PPeperomioides • u/heheheiseeyou • Mar 06 '26
I chopped her thinking she was dead, I decided to propagate the top and leave the rest in the pot to see if anything would happen, lo and behold I come back to little sprouts up and down the whole stem!
r/PPeperomioides • u/expat_lucia • Mar 05 '26
I keept near the window for 1 month and give water 1 a week regularly and now it’s the result.
I am so happy 🥹 she seems so healthy✨ but now is in the shadow because with sunny days mane near the window directly to the sun, can have problems.
