I have this Pilea Mollis Moon Valley in a sealed terrarium. Why are the leaves so pale? The stalks are pushing roots out like mad and I thought it was a sign that it was pretty happy. It used to be green. I thought maybe it was because my terrarium is sealed so I opened the lid to give it some fresh air, it gets plenty of light from a grow light. Any thoughts on what the problem with it could be? I'm a bit new to terrariums and also the reason I sealed it is because a gnat found it's way in it one year and nearly destroyed all the plants in it. I'm determined to make this one work. Halp!
(i hope the pictures show up, I'm having issues getting the images to appear).

Maybe try giving it some liquid chelated Iron? whenever my plants start getting a bit too pale I supplement their watering with it an they perk up
Mine are super dark now because it’s sunnier. Are they getting enough sunlight? I also re-pot or add soil/fertilizer every so often.
