personally i would love to buy one from you! i hope you open an etsy shop that would be great! congrats on all the babies

[@beritb3590]

I have had mine for a year, and it grew like 10 leaves..... And I was so proud....

[@TechplantChannel]

growth is growth! im keeping them under grow lights so i have an advantage. Nice work!

[@ShyDog827]

I just bought my first Pilea, and it’s already putting out babies. I think this aggressive growth habit would lend itself very well to a hanging basket , since it would probably fill out the container top to bottom; thus saving space from not having to separate a pot with limited growing area.

[@TechplantChannel]

it would! try it!

Ill try it!

[@sprypinks]

Did you ever sell these plants on Etsy?

[@Cricelia]

How was it packed for shipping?

[@dominickjohnson2548]

So for shipping plants I dont have a lot of experience but depending on how strong the plant is but it doesn't need much. All you need is a sturdy box and packing paper line the bottom with it so it doesn't spill dirt out of the box. Then just put the plant in and (if you want) wrap the pot with packing paper too. Then cover with some packing peanuts and you should be set. This worked for me! I really hoped this helps!

[@Friendlyjammer-ol7vg]

I've just found your channel, and I'm loving it! Personally, I also love plants. The Chinese Money Plant (Pilea Peperomioides) would be really cool to add to my collection... Maybe it'll add a buck or two to my wallet as well!

[@audreylundmisner8888]

I've found you a few months ago and love your videos! I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while now. Maybe I will. I enjoy propagating plants. Thanks for the info and I will continue to be a loyal fan!

Thank you thank you!

[@joannelasage2053]

I LOVE my Pilea! Pretty soon I can practice what you taught me in your videos and transplant my babies too! Thanks So Much!!!

[@janineharness-rennebu8828]

My story of the Pilea started with a teeny tiny baby propagation in a cuttings package from EBay which included 20 other tropical plant leaf/stem varieties. My pilea was so small (it was dried lentil size a pair of newly sprouted leaves and 1/8" stem...no roots) now I too have many babies from that plant. These are in a North East facing window only, no " grow lights" here in Northern Nevada hot/cold dry desert. Thanks for sharing your story and plants. My next new plant will be a ZZ ...Aglaonema aka, Chinese Evergreen plants were my most expensive complete fail ...horrible! Goodluck with your pileas.

[@TechplantChannel]

awesome story! thanks for sharing and good luck with the ZZ plant!

[@sandraseldon6734]

I was not surprised t hear about pilea p. It is a prolific plant. I have one that the center is close to thirty inches tall and the numerous babies are twelve inches tall. My problem is the weak stems. I have put in stakes to keep it upright. I like the shape of the leaves and am down to two pots. I have given several to people but you seem to be in a conundrum! They do take up space under lights. Mine are not under lights but have southern exposure. Fun to see your collection.

[@TechplantChannel]

Amazing! I've given out quite a few roo. Thanks for watching

[@timbrelman]

I subscribe and starting watching your channel about a year ago. It's amazing how well your plant collection has grown. I like how you go straight to the point and try to keep you videos around 10 to 15 minutes. Each video is always informative on what is currently working for you. Keep the videos coming. I have never purchased plants online. Most of what I like I can purchase locally at reasonable prices. I checked Etsy out for plants and thought prices were to high, especially for single nod cuttings.

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for the kind words

[@jackieann133]

happy f you as t plt multiply fast meaning u can sell it n check it out how to do shipping etc. All the best t your new adventure

[@ladyleo425]

Love that you care so much about your Pilea Plants. It is a lovely plant. 😍

[@aholegardener6191]

I’d try growing the lopsided one upside down.. kinda topsy turvy style .. maybe make a upside down planter out of a hanging basket or something. I’m almost positive you could find people who want those plants. I’m not even sure if they have a patent .. Facebook market place or even a spring yard sale.. I love these particular plants..

[@TechplantChannel]

yeah they are very cool, ive seen some amazing hanging baskets with really long mature ones!

[@helenemink8466]

Congratulations on all your babies!! Love them🌿🌱

[@TechplantChannel]

Thank you so much!

[@jeanettejackson1876]

Definetly start an Etsy shop. If you have Offer Up or another service like that then sell those babies. It will alsohelp your future plant buying budget. Look up plant exchanges in your demographic. You could trade the babies for plants you dont have to add to your collection. You are such a good plant daddy!

[@MarkSeydel]

OMG! I would kill, well, not really, for one of these! Beautiful! Also - What I see people have a lot of success with as far as shipping is to wrap the plants in strong brown paper. Many people simply have them in plastic bags in moss or soil and then wrapped in strong paper. Try watching an unboxing video of Steve's leaves. They package their plants perfectly. YES, open an Etsy store!

[@urgothgirlfriend]

I recently discovered your videos and i love them, they are short, concise, and educational ❤ thanks

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for the kind words im happy they are enjoyable

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

ok i just bought one of these in the mail . it was in its pot with light mix. they placed folded paper towel bunched up all around the centre stems then taped those down over the top of the pot with paper type masking tape .. plant looks good. the pot was sideways in the box taped to the side of the box and there where styro beads in the box holding the leaves up off the side

[@SusanaMartinez-ze9oh]

I'm live in Miami and I'm lucking for this plant and no vary have. The first time I see this plant I'm in love

[@TechplantChannel]

hmm they seem common in the midwest, im surprised because florida usually has all the cool plants

[@lisapeterson729]

I'm in Canada,so I'm just here to tell you my experience from Victoria,B.C.. I first saw these guys on the internet, probably like most of us. I fell in love with them right away,they remind me of lilypads. The pileas were hard to find and when they showed up they were in rough shape. I finally got one and stopped paying attention to them in stores. I've gone to three plant places today,one boutique-y kind,and two big box. They are everywhere! It reminded me of the Star trek episode,'The trouble with tribbles'( I think) The lesson being: careful what you wish for!! I am now feeling a certain kind of fear and awe for mine,lol! 🐣🐰Happy Easter!🐇🐥

[@malmarmessie7336]

it would be so cool to have a pilea peperomides i am currently adding more plants to my jungle...er room and it would be so cool to own one i have been taking lots of notes about them and find it would be really cool to own one! thank you, Diana

[@monicajaramillo1384]

I feel like the reason yours are multiplying so rapidly is because of your grow lights, I’m sure not everyone will get the same reaction from just buying it to have as just a houseplant especially considering how the lighting in everyone’s home is disbursed. I have bought a plant on amazon, it was actually a philodendron so I’m sure you could do it! Maybe check out some other videos on KZbin for shipping plants, there has to be some content in here somewhere lol good luck with your plants!

[@TechplantChannel]

ive been doing a bit of research, I do think the lights play a big role because they are so consistent

[@dragonflyy000]

I would def buy one from you! I bought recently a pilea from Etsy for $40 and it's not doing well at all. I've watched tons of videos on its care- im following them to the T, and im just not sure its gonna make it. Scares me so much! It wasn't in the best shape when I got it, which I think is most of the problem. I do have 2 babies coming so maybe they'll be my saving grace! But if you do open an Etsy, keep your KZbin subscribers posted!!!! Yours look UH-MAZING!!! 🌱🌿☘

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks I will, I let mine get pretty dry before watering, so maybe its getting too much water.

[@edgygardener2826]

My daughter gave me a baby last year that was a little more than 1.5 inches tall. It’s not yet grown big enough to make babies, but it’s close. I hope you find homes for all the babies’ babies’ babies!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks, good luck with yours

[@staceyhancock2173]

Congrats. So many beautiful, little plants!

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks so much 😊

[@joankennes3230]

Shipping advice: cover the soil in the pot with newspaper or paper towel and then cover with tape so no soil falls out. The soil can be damp, but always keep the stem and leaves dry: moisture + no light (in a parcel) = rot. Stake vulnerable plants and fill up the shipping box with more newspaper to keep from cold and damage: shipping equals boxes being thrown around. You might even want to fortify your box with same size stakes in all 4 corners. For bare root plants: same thing, i.e. roots packed in sphagnum, surround with wet kitchen towels and pack (only roots!) tightly in plastic. I've had very delicate plants, packed like this, be in transit for 10 days with no stress or damage. Do not ship tropical plants when it is freezing!

[@CarnivorousPlantsAndGardening]

I do have experience with shipping plants when I was moving I had to cut up my nepenthes ventrata and sell the cuttings you really want to make sure the plant is secure wrap it in plastic wrap wrap it in bubble tie those air bag things around and and fill the rest of the box with any packaging material

[@TechplantChannel]

Thanks for the tips

[@CarnivorousPlantsAndGardening]

@@TechplantChannel and with cold weather shipping get some heating packs and wrap them around the first layer of packaging

[@brandykratz561]

You can ship plants through the USPS. UPS & FedEx is a bit pricey. Etsy sounds like a good place to start selling them.

[@TechplantChannel]

ill take a look, thank you

[@brandykratz561]

Keep a few to propagate if you want to sell them. Pothos and philodendron plants are also very prolific as are spider plants.

[@jaycorwin1625]

This is hilarious. Yes it is funny that you're running out of space and friends to give these things to, but they're happy. Maybe one of the things you could do if you haven't thought about it is see if there's some network you can join for people who swap cuttings or baby plants.

[@tvy_9516]

Found this channel yesterday and immediately subscribed after the first video. An Etsy shop sounds like a great idea to spread some plant love. I'm very interested in taking care of the Pilea Peperomioides. Thank you for the awesome content, excited to see your channel grow!

I would most definitely buy one from you! I got one in a subscription box and I over watered it, so it just has a tuft at the top. The way the subscription box had sent it was in a tall box then the pot was in a smaller box (sort of as a stabilizer) with the plant sticking out

[@TechplantChannel]

thanks for that info, I hope your plant rebounds well!

water seems to be the most reliable and easiest

[@pkmetzger]

Some ship bare root wrapped in moist moss. They also charge for shipping. If it isn't super cold outside you don't have to offer a heat pack for extra charge. And I think paypal is the way to go.

Great video! I would really love to have my first ever pilea from you! They're clearly such happy plants in your care 🌱 If you set up an etsy to sell plants I will definitely check it out.

[@thegiftlady1]

Etsy is great and they have a good rep. I've bought many things there including Air plants and seeds. Contact them for info. Try sending one to yourself and maybe someone further away that would cooperate and let you know how it arrived. These plants are light so I'm thinking a mini pot wrapped in the smaller size bubble wrap. Dollar Tree sells plastic pots in season 6 for $1. Estimate your costs: boxes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, shipping (get a shipping zone chart from your local PO), and a bit of profit for your time Labels are cheap and can be printed off by you. Look at uline prices for boxes (you'll likely find a good deal if you are creative with the size). You can get shipping tape cheap because there's no weight to your boxes. Shop it. Shop the bubble wrap and labels too you won't need a lot of either unless you are successful with your baby making.. Finally, collect newspaper for stuffing. USPS is terrible here but the most cost effective. You can also talk with a local biz that manages his own ebay or Etsy account. I've seen signs in Mailbox store windows here, "we ship your ebay..." Go for it and Good Luck! P.S. I'd buy one!!! 😊 Joanne

[@manfarr1974]

I've given away so many Pilia babies! They are very productive! It is like...zucchini in the summer if you know what I mean haha I have gotten a few Etsy plants, care in packing is key I think. Also I live in the north east so always ask for heat packs, but some folks might not think of that.

[@MartiesPlants]

Wow, that’s amazing. I’d love a plant, I don’t mind paying for shipping. I have one, but for some reason, seems to be struggling. Not sure why. I’ve purchased a few plants from Etsy & overall, I feel it’s been a good experience. I think the plant that died was related to the cold weather shock. I think the biggest issue with buying online is the shipping costs & improper packing. Guess as a buyer, ive been lucky so far. Let us know if you set up shop!

[@BirchGlass]

I found your channel yesterday and watched so many already, very informative!! :D I was looking at buying one of these yesterday but the one I found was so small and pretty expensive I thought, so the internet might be my best bet!
