Chinese Money Plant care

Chinese Money Plant drooping

Long pilea leaf stalks can arch naturally. A sudden loss of firmness across several leaves needs a moisture check, especially after repotting.

Dry root ball

Water slowly until the center is moist, then drain. Check below the surface if the plant stays limp; water may have escaped along the edge of a shrunken root ball.

Wet root ball

Empty runoff and compare the old root ball with any fresh soil around it. Give bright indirect light away from cold glass or heaters. Continued wilt with yellowing or a soft main stem calls for inspecting roots, rather than repeating watering.
