Chinese Money Plant curling leaves

The round leaves of Pilea peperomioides may cup, but the direction of the curl does not identify a cause. Compare new and old leaves, then check moisture and exposure.

Curling with droop

Water a light pot with a dry root ball slowly until it is evenly moist, then drain. If the mix is already wet and petioles are limp or yellowing, empty trapped runoff and inspect roots if decline continues.

Curling without wilt

A plant leaning toward a distant window may need brighter indirect light. Leaves nearest hot glass may instead need shade from direct sun. Inspect distorted new leaves for insects, and judge the change by leaves formed after the adjustment.
