Let $L(\theta ,\lambda )$ be the set of limit points of the fractional parts $\left\{\lambda {\theta }^n\right\}$, $n=0,1,2,\cdots$, where $\theta$ is a Pisot number and $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}\left(\theta \right)$. Using a description of $L(\theta ,\lambda )$, due to Dubickas, we show that there is a sequence ${\left({\lambda }_n\right)}_{n\ge 0}$ of elements of $\mathbb{Q}\left(\theta \right)$ such that $Card\left(L(\theta ,{\lambda }_n)\right)<Card\left(L(\theta ,{\lambda }_{n+1})\right)$, $\forall$ $n\ge 0$. Also, we prove that the fractional parts of Pisot numbers, with a fixed degree greater than 1, are dense in the unit interval.
