Hi everyone! New to this site as I mainly deal with outdoor plants but have a small collection of indoor plants. So far they have been growing well with very little maintenance. Just watering and that's about it. I have some pilea, they have been doing well for quite a few months, but all of a sudden the lower leaves have started curling inwards on the edges, that are new shoots on the top of the plant so it seems to be doing fine otherwise. It was in quite a small pot so I decided to repot with adequate houseplants soil with seramis, clay balls for drainage and have invested in some houseplant spray mist. Does anyone know what might be causing this? After doing some internet research, underwatering seems to be the main trigger. Though I have a water moisture metre and it has been fine for quite a while within the moist markers and once it's dried I top up and let it drain out. My place it on my window seal where it gets light but not much as I know they aren't supposed to have direct light. It is quite warm in the room that I keep it in so not cold. I have decided to put a drip feeder in to see if that helps. I don't know whether I should cut the lower leaves off or leave them. It's a bit of a shame as it was looking really good but all of a sudden it started curling and looking not so good. It's been like this for a few days now. Is there anything I can do other than what I have already done? Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
