Wow, your plants are so bushy! What do you do to your Pilea to make it not leggy?

Honestly it took a long time to figure out what it wants. It’s been a struggle but I found that it wants bright indirect light, consistent fertilizer and I never take off the babies so it hides the bare bottom of the stem. If you let the babies just grow it will make it overall much bushier!

My cat destroyed my pilea when it was just a baby with 3 leaves and I think it’s taken it as a challenge. It’s growing like crazy and has a couple babies I was super tempted to do something with but I’ll retstrain myself and leave them alone.

I’m glad it survived! And yeah once you find a good spot for it it really thrives and grows fast. And keeping the babies attached makes it look much fuller so Ive been keeping mine in there as a well.

Looks so nice. My gf will love this. I’m excited to start sharing her mass collection of house plants here as we settle into our new home.
