PILEA PEPEROMIOIDES PROPAGATION & CARE | Houseplant Care Tips | Jolene Foliage

[@espem88]

Thank you for giving a bit of insight into the name along with Chinese culture 🌸

[@ashleylee6861]

I picked up a HUGE pilea for 6 dollars! I ended up getting 10 babies off of it. I held on to like 4 and was able to share the rest. 💛

[@Mizz.Person]

I love sharing plants!

[@plantspit518]

Ahh today I just got a tiny tiny one for 7 dollars. I need better places to get my plants lol

[@lilat9309]

@@plantspit518 me too ,got a tiny baby for $7 , too expensive

[@carayj]

I would have kept the 3 large mother plants together, I love how full and lush they look together. I have a mother plant with 5 off shoots all just as big as the original plant, I don't think I will separate them.

[@cocovcoco]

Truth Johns taking the babies and separating will give each mother more room for more babies. They’ll be looking super lush in no time 😊

[@carayj]

Taking the babies is fine but I would have left the 3 large plants together

[@deejeff8846]

I agree

[@youngsworld4402]

I think 3 plants all together in a pot also ok but divide each also great. But if need to divide need to more gentle for no demise of the plants as like to use kinds of chopsticks.

[@SparkleDonut]

If you made a plant ASMR video I would watch the heck out of that 😂😍 those pilea babies are so cute!!

[@allycat6141]

Someone did it! I think his name was DuTube or something like that. I was really hoping that it would become a trend for all the Plant KZbinrs to do it, but not yet ;)

[@SparkleDonut]

@@allycat6141 Oh snaaap, I'll have to check it out! Ikr, I'm still waiting too 😂 Cosmic Tingles has some old ones that will be my fix in the meanwhile hahaha

[@Beansie]

A metal chopstick works beautifully for loosening roots and separating rhizomes. I've always used a polished wooden one, but eventually it will start to fray, then I ordered some orchid bark from Bonsai Jack and in the order they included a metal chopstick! Awesome!

[@twistysunshine]

I probably would've kept the mother plant together! Love how bushy it looked. To each their own! That's a crazy amount of babies tho. They're so prolific it's kinda crazy how expensive the are in the us

[@jackieann133]

healthy looking plts👍

[@ivyliew7036]

Full and lush with 3 is looking great..

[@chrismcburnett9433]

That plant is almost as beautiful as you. I have one and I love this plant, thanks for the content.

[@verizon5348]

I love Pilea and your's is fabulous! Great job of propagating. I wish mine would grow that large.

[@anndriggers6660]

You are just precious! Good info! I'm going to try this tomorrow. 🤞 Thank you.

[@shespeakshermind1801]

Thank you for the video! I love the ASMR twist. Any update on the baby propagation and the separation of the 3 mother pileas?

[@daiseegray9110]

Thanks for the information I just purchased one with tiny babies. Loved the info on the plant 🌱 origins.

[@Shimomo27]

Omg please please please do do a nursery tour in China!! I haven’t been to one myself either🤣

[@janetshepherd9062]

Did you do a follow up o these?

[@ValiBee87]

HELLLP!! I've been struggling with my Pilea. At first it got root rot and most of the roots fell off, so someone recommended to put it in plain water, so I put it in a clear glass jar until it started to root and that helped for a while. The roots were coming back nicely until I let it sit in the water for too long and then all of a sudden the roots died off again. So now I've been keeping up with changing the water regularly but the Pilea isn't doing anything. It's just sitting in the water surviving with only a few roots. The lighting is pretty good, I have it like 6-8 feet from a SE facing window, so bright, indirect light. I read somewhere but never confirmed it to try to keep the root from getting intense light, so I wrapped some black tape around it and let's see what happens. My next step is to try repotting into some fresh soil and hope that it gets motivated to grow roots again. I don't want it to die, it's a tri-Pilea mother plant like Jolene's. ANY suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! End essay.

[@nachobabe1344]

Change the water every week and rinse the roots. Give it time.

[@gapstead]

Use distilled water or rainwater only and don't let it sit in the water. Make sure the soil is thoroughly dry before watering.

[@donnastovall8340]

I love this plant so much. That was so easy. Love your video. 😊

[@TheNIJUAL]

I really enjoyed this video keep growing

[@andylise08]

I can't wait for my Pilea to get that big! She's quite small compared to yours and I've only had mine for 2 mos, but already bloomed flowers!

Hello Jolene!! I like your videos!!!❤️I came to a conclusion .. you are a perfect surgieron!!😃❤️❤️👏👏👏those beautiful baby’s end healthy end robust mothers!! I loved!!

[@SMARTWHITEKCAT]

Hi Jolene! What is the soil mix do you use for your adult plants. In details please. I need to report two my pileas. Thank you very much in advance!

[@persephonespomegranate]

Thanks for this - I have some pancake babies I was just about to re-pot and I’ve never done it before so this was very helpful! Anyone have any advice on black spots on my pilea? It just started on the lowest leaves after 2 years of good plant health. No changes to watering or light. I’ve read that it’s either mold, fungus or bacterial infection but I can’t figure out which and I assume treatment varies. They’re big black spots, no yellow halo; the damaged leaves are yellowing and falling off. I’ve removed any remaining affected leaves and moved the plant away from others FYI (but it was so close to a bunch of prayer plants & succulents that I’m worried it may have spread before I noticed :-( Any tips would be greatly appreciated since I’m not finding pertinent videos when I search (and although I love my indoor jungle, I’m actually a pretty terrible plant mom - just don’t have the knack 😬 🍃💀)

[@laly6980]

Persephomes pomegranate did you find out the black spots in your pilea? Yesterday I found some black spots on mine and I went to the nursery where I bought it but as usual nobody knows anything this days they told me maybe too much water or fungus. As you I can't find any information.

[@bmorena]

@@laly6980 maybe too much sun?

[@laly6980]

@@bmorena I don't think so It is been 2 years that she is on the same place.

[@leonorahaircare]

check the roots...it could be a sign of rotting roots too..good luck and let us know how you get on!

[@mjay3734]

I divided my pilea I got from hirts garden center. It came to me with 7 total plants in one pot. A while later (abt a month) I hv divided them and they are all thriving. I hv gifted 3 of them. Such a fun plant.

[@davidguerrero5753]

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

Jolene.....my leaves are light green. How can I get them dark like yours?

[@lesliesolwayboyd689]

Thanks for your advice. Going to move to less light! Thanks

[@debrawarrick2911]

I would love to know what your care tips are for this plant. I can't figure this plant out. Mine has been limping along for months. So much so, I cut the stem off at the base and attempted to grow a new, stronger plant. I put it in a tall terrarium to encourage faster roots. It started pushing new growth so after a couple of months, I added it back to the shelf with my other plants but it's still failing to thrive. :-(

[@nmj2411]

I really wanted this plant and when I found one I was so happy. But now it died! I don’t know if I over watered or under watered. But I couldn’t save it! 😢

[@Thankful_.]

Thanks for the great tips! I recently shared video of mine that I just bought. Mine is outgrowing it’s nursery pot that it came in.

Ty for the video. How are the babies and mother plants doing? I'm going to try and separate my baby plant from its mother this weekend!. Update please. Ty

[@Nonotme888]

Somewhere around the world, a plant is a weed. In other parts of the world, it’s “rare”. Lol! Hence, paying an arm and leg for weeds. Lol

[@lindanehls8115]

That's why I pull wild creeping charlie. It's a weed they sell as a house plant.🤗

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Thank you Jolene, I love the bit of insite on this beautiful plant and the Chinese culture that goes with it. I have always loved this plant ever since it showed up, but the prices were so out there that I thought I would never be able to get my hands on one, but I picked mine up for 8.99 in a 4 inch pot and she is growing like crazy and I'm ready to give one of her babies to my daughter, who also wants one super bad. Thanks again for a fun video and your Pilea is gorgeous all of them.

Sad you took the plant apart. It was beautiful as was. Potting up the babies was all that was needed.

[@breathewithtian]

how to encourage this plant to grow a thick strong stalk like a tree?

[@paulabollers6396]

Thanks for showing us how to propagate! I killed the first two pilea peperomioides that I bought. I don't find it easy at all. I had a small one left but found some large ones on sale 2 for $12. I put them in a pot together and will leave the babies alone til they are big. Hopefully, it does well. 💚 I heard some You Tubers paid a $$$ for this plant last year. Now it is everywhere even Walmart for under $10.

[@VtAg]

Can I repot it even in the winter time.?

[@JoleneFoliage]

I think it depends on where you live. Here in LA, we have warm weather all year round, so it doesn't really matter too much. If you are in colder climate, then it's better to wait until Spring!

Great video, I recently got 2 Pileas and one of them is starting to have black leaves that look like burn. I have it in a bright indirect light. Any thoughts???? The other is doing fine.

[@Mstes2241]

sounds like they are being over watering or under watering. Before watering them, check the soil about an inch deep with your finger. If it's moist, don't water and wait. Don't go by the look of the top soil, it's misleading.

[@elleluna7904]

Thanks for your video - informative. Here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada these plants are not easy to find and when you do find them, they are expensive 18.00 for a small young Pilea (also known as UFO plants due to their flying saucer shape).

🌿Plant ASMR🌿 🤣 Honestly, it stressed me out watching you simply “break” the babies off and run a knife through the soil😟😂 I repotted 3 pilea babies a couple weeks ago and was seriously so gentle and careful when cutting them from the base of the mother plant. However, your method is a good reminder that plants are SO resilient and adaptable💪🏼💯🌿 Where did you find a pilea this giant?!🤩
