restart

My little pilea has been um, looking awful. All the stems full of dead dried-up leaves to the last few inches. So I cut the good ends off to restart in water jars, and cut back, threw away all the rest of the stems. Probably going to start in a new pot again. Not sure if it was pests, or just dried out because I hadn't watered often enough.
There's lots of cuttings. Maybe I will restart two pots.
The smallest were two short for even those tiny jars, I should have just tossed 'em, but had this little string-of-hearts cutting too, so I put together in a medicine dosing cup.
That pot still looks very sparse, even though this is the second time I've taken cuttings to root and multiple. (It started as just one piece).
