Winter in MA can be very SNOWY. I have them laying on a paper plate for now. Thank you
Separate the seeds from the pod if not done already. When the seeds seem dry, 2-3 weeks, put them in a glass jar and keep them in a cool, dry place. Another drying method is to hang the flower spikes upside down for 2-3 weeks and then separate the seed. Lunaria self-sows in Michigan so the seed is hardy. When saving the seed indoors, sow outdoors in late spring and cover with a thin layer of light soil.
I purchased this little pilea a week ago. Since then, the leaves have started to drop. The leaves, and all but 2 of the stems are still firm, but they are not as perky as they were when I got it. I repotted and watered it the day I got it, and have not watered it since. The soil still feels moist. I am trying to figure out if it is a light issue, or if the little guy is still in shock and adjusting to its new home. I have 2 places it could go, neither are directly in front of a window. Option A: on a wall with a east wind & a north window in the room Option B: in a corner between a south window & a west window I had a really hard time finding this, so I want to get ahead of any problems! The picture were taken on a cloudy day.
They are quite susceptible to transplant shock, and any disturbance to the root can make it look pretty bad for a little bit.
Proper care will be the only solution, as there is not much you can do for transplant shock in small plants.
This article will help you to care for it properly:

Money plants have turned into silver dollars. I'd like to gather the discs and plant the seeds indoors in pots. It's September and I have 2 big bright sunny windows where I could put the pots. Is this doable at this time of the year?
Yes, you can plant them anytime but they will have better lighting in the spring. Here is more:

I have two plants inside where the leaves are turning yellow. One is a Money Plant (Guiana Chestnut) and the other time believe is a Palm. I live in San Francisco and usually leave the curtains open for them to get enough sunlight, however right now they both look like they are slowly dying. Can someone please advise me on how often I should be watering these as well as how often I should be giving them sunlight? Pictures included for context.
I notice you are using cache pots. When you water, do you remove the interior container and allow the excess water to drain before returning to the outside container? If not, your plants may be sitting in water, which can lead to root rot. I would check on that as well as how often you are watering. The money tree needs specific care, including humidity. Check the care articles below and compare those with your plant's care. Also, the browning leaves can be removed. If more than 1/3 of the leaves are affected, gradually remove the leaves so as not to shock it.

Hi. I have a very big money plant (around 25 years old). Around 2 months ago I've noticed that it's middle leave started to become very thin as if it needs watering. I've checked = no, it's damp but not over wet. I took a couple of cuttings and you can see on photo that the cutting has the same problem BUT it has new healthy leaves as well. What the plant needs please!!! Thank you
it looks like it isn't getting water so I would focus on the soil. Is the pot rootbound? Has the soil been refreshed in the last couple of years? If not, I suggest changing the soil or repotting up one size. It also wouldn't hurt to prune it a bit.

Hello everyone, I have some cuttings from my money plant (pothos) growing in water. One particular cutting seems to be rotting from the bottom. I am not sure if its a rot ir something else. What should I do? Should I cut out this part from the stem?
When rooting cuttings in water, you can replace the water every couple of days. If the stem still seems healthy above the part that is rotting, you can cut off the damaged area. If not, remove and discard the whole cutting.
Also, make sure none of the leaves are below the water line. Those will foul the water.
