Some plants explode growth wise once they hit a certain size. Their root network is large enough to support more growth, and the leaves provide more than enough energy to fuel new development. Hopefully this one is getting there. It certainly is spitting out leaves like it...
My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Better Pilea peperomioides Pictures
Last I posted about this plant, I didn't provide close up pictures - I am about to correct that deficiency.

Update on the Pilea peperomioides
I was actually a little worried about this plant. The shipping stress shows up more on non-succulent, deciduous plants and this one lots a bunch of leaves. Well - that is certainly behind us now and this plant is on the cusp of flourishing.
It has become acclimated to morning sunlight that pipes in through the space between our house and our neighbors. I water it at least every other day. In the recent weeks, it has been putting out new leaves weekly and it has retained them. The stalk is starting to show signs of turning more woody. I'd said it has gotten through the adjustment period and hopefully will start accelerating with its growth.
