What's eating my pilea nummuarlifolia 'bunny ears'?

Pilea mollis 'Bunny Ears' is a compact trailing houseplant most commonly affected by spider mites and mealybugs. Its slightly textured leaves and trailing stems create hiding spots for pests. Fungus gnats breed readily in moist potting mix. Inspect regularly and maintain moderate humidity to reduce infestation risk.

Fine yellow stippling on leaves; thin webbing across trailing stems; leaves become dull and drop. Increase humidity; spray thoroughly with insecticidal soap or neem oil every 7 days for 3 cycles; remove badly affected leaves.

White cottony deposits at stem nodes and leaf bases; honeydew residue; stunted growth. Dab colonies with an alcohol-soaked swab; follow with neem oil spray; isolate the plant immediately.

Adult flies near the soil; larvae feeding on roots causing yellowing and poor vigor. Let soil dry between waterings; use yellow sticky traps; apply a Bti-based soil drench.
