Chinese Money Plant Water Propagation Revival | Pilea Peperomioides DYING YELLOW LEAVES

[@luisdeleon3368]

You gotta be kidding me! I was literally looking at my Chinese money plant today and thinking, "I wonder how you propagate that" and before I could look it up BAM! This video pops up 🤯

[@Kimguzman19]

I got one from Home Depot a few months ago for $8 and the leaves are huge! I love how unique this plant looks

[@joannashelton3253]

i also find pilea pep less than super easy. i moved mine into more light and it looks better but it is no thriving monster. i always check with a thin bamboo skewer inserted gently to the bottom of the pot and only water if it comes out clean. (i’m also dicey about when a cake is done and rely on the toothpick in the center, haha). thanks for showing how this fella roots!

[@deedee-ej6vq]

So happy you gave us an update on your Pilea! I'm currently struggling with mine :/

[@gloriaglass9758]

I too struggle with this plant. I'm glad I happened upon your video it has helped me alot. Thanks

[@xyoojntsesnis0531]

Thank you for showing us the whole process!

[@ericathinks]

I’m having the same issues with my Pilea. Thanks for this!

[@ashleyhedgepeth9994]

I followed this video a month or so ago to save my pilea, and both the top/OG plant are thriving now!! Thank you!!

[@annette1884]

People also say that spider plants are super easy and still its the only plant I almost killed

[@Sabrina-qg5tk]

I just ignore mine. And since I have a Bonnie (curly kind), it basically tells me when it needs water. When the leaves are not curly anymore, it's time to water. It looks like its hair went flat and needs a wash! Lol

[@kodirust9890]

I overwatered my spider plant:(

[@annette1884]

@Maurice Crosby wait what does your advertising have to do with spiderplants

[@irmablanco318]

'''

[@marysolmunoz118]

I bought one a while ago and it had root rot but I didn’t noticed because it had been watered when I purchased the plant :/ I wish I would have seen this video omg it looks beautiful

[@Sovereign-Prax]

good work with those plants so glad you could save them,Loved the video.

[@regallineage6091]

So grateful for this video

[@judithmarie2588]

This is exactly what I did with my plant and now I have a big healthy plant

[@MyFellowFoliage]

Well done on saving your Pilea! Can't wait for an update on the two plants :)

[@bethjeffrey6626]

Great photos and documentation!

[@gracehc9356]

What a great save! Would love to see an update Erika! X

[@chrystalsabin4091]

Your plant looks great, good save.

[@thompsonthompson5581]

I find this plant very difficult to maintain. Thanks for sharing.

[@janinepotts2583]

Don’t feel bad I had a pilea that was growing BIG with tunes of babies I just the other day I had to remove them all and cut off the mother plant like you did and start all over but the babies that I left with the nub are doing great and waiting for roots on the water ones 😉

[@AlexisCardona]

great video and great insight. exactly what i was looking for.

[@amykisler5351]

Granted, this is a new plant for me, but I've had really good luck so far. I leave it in the plastic nursery pot, and when BOTH the leaves are a bit droopy and the nursery pot is very light when lifted, I water. I do this by filling a small plastic rubbermaid-style container with water (so it's high enough that it covers the drainage holes well) that has been sitting out for at least 24 hours. I then put the pilea's plastic pot in and let it sit until it is no longer floating and I can tell by lifting it that it is holding water. Mine seems super happy with this routine so far.

[@margaretneilson3301]

Good luck with that Erika 🍀

[@leonova9526]

i did the same thing and the stem gave me like 20 babies and is still producing new ones😌

[@reesepiece87]

For me, I've lost a lot of plants because I think they need to be watered. I have learned since then to touch the leaves and feel how plump and firm they are. This goes for more succulent-like leaves like peperomias and pileas because the leaves will let you know when they need water. I completely disregard how dry the soil is. This has helped me a lot with keeping "easy" house plants alive longer :)

[@Michellelipstick]

I have a pup in propagation right now and two of the leaves fell off. 😞 I hope it survives so I can pot it!

[@Lypno]

One of my transfers used to whither away so I moved it behind a window and now it's doing better. I also stopped watering it as much as before.

[@Sabrina-qg5tk]

So how often will you water your pilea that rooted in water? That's the part I'm never sure about. I know you should acclimate it to soil, but also petrified of root rot since that was the original issue.

[@codielane]

Right good question. I have no idea. I would probably acclimate it as usual.

[@teresitawilliams5858]

I struggle with this one too, third time trying one.

[@lmarii4896]

Super cute video

[@lisapettit7334]

Off to try to save mine! Thanks for posting this video. Hopefully I am as successful as you!

[@dkf819]

good job!!!

[@farmerswifesince95]

My pilea has had the bottom leaves turn yellow and drop off two years in a row now. Then it pops all new growth from the top and starts new babies. I haven't repotted it but it will need to be in spring.

[@plantapreciosa7020]

This was super informative thank you! Maybe you can make a video on Alocasias and other plants that go dormant during the winter :)

[@samantonio190]

Same! Mine looks bad and lost leaves…I just chopped the stem off the roots and cut some stems but may have cut too deep. We’ll see.

[@laurenjohnson4874]

I think the one that is a stump will do juuuust fine! I got one for my bf and he accidentally left it in his car all day on a 90 degree sunny day, all the leaves were black and fell off. But the stump ended up growing a ton of plants off of it, and now it is THRIVING. Also, the leaves on mine look like that when I have it in direct light for too long. Not sure where you keep yours but it seems like bright indirect is the way to go. I can't wait to see yours grow! :)

[@jannettecabrera1]

I bought a tiny $3 one because I was nervous to kill a bigger one 😂

[@marysolmunoz118]

JayCeeScandals07 wow! That’s a good deal! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you buy it? So I can buy one

[@jannettecabrera1]

They had a bunch at Fry's a couple months ago, I live in Arizona not sure if there's Fry's all over US 🤔

[@avionterria7855]

I got mine a week ago for $3.50 at Grocery Outlet in LA

[@tamekahill2826]

That plant isn't easy inside when I had mines outside no problem.Now they had a terrible attitude.Lol they are still growing am going to check theirs roots out tommorow since I have the day off. To see if any thing going on underneath.Happy growing and stay safe.

[@mokuho]

Incredible work! 👍

[@nancylee1883]

I lost one to over watering also 😪. I haven't seen a new video for a while. I hope you are doing okay 🩷.

[@TheBeautyJournals]

Perfect timing. I just got a Pilea today x

[@byunclenui]

👍👍👍 v e r y n i c e

[@patconnelly3244]

I propagated mine in water too. I may need to do it again, it's a frustrating plant. I've also never gotten one single "pup" in the 2 years that I've had it.

[@jennavanburen9473]

My problem with my pilea is the cupping leaves. I had it in an area with low light, so I gave it more light. I thought I was overwatering it , so I started to back off. It still looks awful, but it pushes out babies like crazy, so I'm experimenting with those.

[@lgarden7086]

I bought a very full plant and decided I needed to separate and make more of them. 😀 I have 3 now and I’m not sure if that was a great idea looking back on it, but one thing for sure is I’ve been learning from this guy! I cut one that was looking very leggy, put it in water, grew roots, and replanted back in the original small clay pot I cut it from which in the meantime grew an adorable new baby at the base. My idea was to make it full, but I think it would have been better to plant it like you did to acclimate it back to soil again....it’s struggling in the soil I’m aiming water at the roots so it stays moist so we’ll see what happens. I have two others that are doing okay so far

[@carolineriou2194]

Really helpful thank you

[@annieanna2900]

I don’t think Pilea’s are too easy to care! (In my experience). My friend is struggling with hers too! My second Pilea died this week! I tried to propagate it but don’t work. RIP

[@oneofeverything9820]

Ahhh, please send help! My pothos's leaves are curling up but I don't know why 😭😭

[@kcototheyoyoyo]

If it’s still green it may need water. Try to focus the water on the rootball and get the soil moist not wet. If leaves are yellow and drooping it is overwatered

[@oneofeverything9820]

@@kcototheyoyoyo thank you! It's a Marble Queen Pothos. The leaves aren't drooping so I think it needs more water. Well... actually, does it need more water? Or more humidity? (Meaning should I mist it more??)

[@kcototheyoyoyo]

One of Everything I use my meter and if it says dry and the soil isn’t sticking to the meter, then it needs water.

[@kcototheyoyoyo]

One of Everything Don’t overwater!!!

[@anitajones7090]

Thanks you for this video. Any updates?

[@abbeynooy4399]

Could you do an orchid care video? Also updated plant shelf tour!! 😊

[@abbeynooy4399]

Also I really like your repotting videos too!! 😊😊😊 keep up the good work, I love your videos!!

[@aindaestoupensand0]

Mine is becoming more and more red, just like you showed in the video. Idk if I should worry about.

[@ldnroses]

I’m glad I’m not the only one, it was my second plant and it died (think from root rot), whereas my first plant was a calathea which people say are fussy but mine’s been fine 😅

[@franchescamiramontes443]

Can you do a soil storage tour?

[@bby9523]

I know this probably isn’t right but I’ve had a pretty big one for about a year now and I wait to water it to it’s wilting a bit (mostly because I forget) but I haven’t had any problems

[@kcototheyoyoyo]

I think I’m gonna do that for mine

[@EleanorSadie]

Thiiiiiiiis came a couple of days too late. I've thrown mine away 🙈

[@poopa9241]

My friends just got me a small one as a housewarming gift but I don't know why, the leafs keep curling outwards. I've tried everything, giving more water, less water, more sun, less sun and I cant get the leaves to flatten out again. I'm a bit frustrated :(

[@milagrosparedes957]

Hi Erika! The same thing happened to me with mine, I don't understand it because I'm very careful with watering.

[@junegraffiti20]

Plants good for gifting might be a good video idea?😁

[@sherryporsch9349]

On Plantastcia, Rebs channel today, someone told her to plant her Pilea in plastic an it helped hers. I’m taking mine out of terra-cotta tomorrow 😃💚 I’ve been wondering if water amount makes a difference in propagation? Like do things root faster in less or more water? Idk😃

[@mayralo8706]

Can you do an orchid care video !! :)

[@YeseniaCRojas]

Can we please get an update on your pilea?

[@Ddeath.Eaterr]

Great video. I just got my first pilea from Etsy a few days ago and now she has brown spots in the middle of some leaves 😭 sun burn I think or overwatering? Idk but this video was amazing

[@deloresbellamy7607]

I’m having the worst luck with mine. The older stems are falling off. It’s looks healthy but not much happening.

[@urbanglamping5047]

I have 2 of piles but I’m always nervous I will lose it from something🤣🤣. Stay connected. 🔔😉👍

[@mokuho]

How many days you left the plant in water? One month?

[@scrumptiousjdp]

Roots are dangling or leaves?

[@TheLucille7]

Had the same experience with mine. Gave it to my sister, problem solved

[@whattheale4690]

I dont really understand. I allow my pilea to dry between waterings and I still have leaf dropping and turning yellow/ falling off :( I dont know if maybe I need to change the soil (It is a bit dense and I wonder if that is the reason as to why the plant doesnt like it much)

[@Lizcat302]

Omg I going to buy this plant in Home Depo today . Your video came up an am like no am going to kill this plant I have a watering problem 😩

[@mwoods4608]

I put mine in a south facing window but I think it was 2 hot

[@theawesomepersonchuney9742]

Where did you get your pilea? I’ve been looking for one & have had no luck

[@Neferious]

RIP old Pilea

[@tee1974]

Years ago, in my 20s I had a green thumb. Now at 50 my green thumb is yellow. Wth. The only plant that's doing great is a cactus that my dear friend Judy gave me before she passed. I have the original and 4 or 5 junior's..

[@bramsyahnoval5183]

Good plant and good you...hehehe...

[@markrathkamp7681]

I agree. A finicky plant.And often it is not that attractive, mainly because I fail at care.

[@mokuho]

Wow! You cut all rootS! 😥

[@twistymisstea3439]

They love filtered water.

[@charlenemackason6395]

👌🏽

[@mariocean808]

Moral of the story: Don't throw away your apparently dying plants!!!

[@paulinacarter5410]

I bought 3 of them and they all dying😭.

[@SmartDevil]

Like your video very much I sent you email, but haven't got your reply Looking forward for your reply, thank you

[@savannahsteiner1561]

the plant is so cute but imo isn’t not easy to care for! Def wouldn’t recommend this for a first time plant parent

[@AH-le3py]

How could u kill this plant. Don't have babies yet, LOL 😆 I forgive u since I watched the whole video. Dr. Hussain Chicago
