Thanks for the great information. I would like too have success with this plant. Happy planting 🎉🎉🎉❤.

Thanks for watching. You'll have to find someone with this plant and get a free pup. Keep trying. :)

@@mixonplantsncrafts I had purchased one pilea peperomioides. About 4 years ago. It got leggy and I didn’t know. Or I didn’t research that you could root the top portion in water , so it didn’t make it. Tried to root the top portion in just soil. Anyways maybe. Who knows. Happy planting 👍🏼

It is hard to kill that plant since it pups a lot, but I made an error and put it in a deep pot because of the long stem. I decided to repot a few weeks ago and didn't realize how shallow the roots were. Moving it into a shallow pot allowed it to start growing again. Very unusual plant. Oh neat, you have pups growing out the side. If you have a water softening system, remember it use salt to soften the water which may not be good for houseplants.

[@mixonplantsncrafts]

Mine did the same with the roots. I realized the roots was shallow and the bottom had rotted in a deeper pot. I don't use the straight soften water I do filter the water and or use distilled water. Our outside water is hard water and that is also a challenge.

Pileas are now fascinating to me because of that puffing thing 😂 As for the tons of babies, you said you were going to sell some plants at a… farmers market if I remember correctly? So just take them along with you! The ones you don’t sell you could then give away 😊

[@mixonplantsncrafts]

The puffing thing was new to me too, and now I absolutely love this plant! LOL! I had to cancel the farmers market this year because of Lobo's condition. I don't feel comfortable leaving him home alone, especially between 4-7 PM when he needs his meds on time. I need my husband with me to help during the sale, and unfortunately, I don't have close friends nearby to assist. I considered selling on Etsy, but it seems like a lot of work.

@@mixonplantsncrafts oh, that’s too bad 😕 But family’s more important, of course! There’ll be other events. Have you tried fb marketplace? Or fb groups. Some people also sell through ig, with posts or stories

[@natjoy22]

I had one of these back in 2021 and I unalived it. But I was at a plant swap last Sunday and got a baby! We will see if this one survives!

[@mixonplantsncrafts]

Best of luck with the new one. My first one didn't do well but the second one grew well. Hope you also get lots of babies. :)
